@nlb122, how did the meeting with oncology go? I hope you got some clarity about letrozole prior to surgery and the Oncotype score. I would love to hear what you learned and what treatment decisions you made with your team.

We did meet with the oncologist who reviewed fully every item on my pathology report. We discussed the all clear with a bilateral mastectomy and low possibility of recurrence and additional treatment. She did not think letrozole prior to surgery would affect the results. With a mid-range score of 28, we decided that chemo was not an option at my age. She ordered a mammaprint test to get more clarification but we are still waiting for the results. Because I will be more than 120 days from diagnosis, chemo benefits may be reduced anyway. That’s a consideration for anyone who is delayed for treatment. The process is now in place with mastectomy completed and an AI for 5 years with regular monitoring. We hope that is a good ending to my health story.
