Ellie, I hope your OncotypeDX is encouraging. My oncologist also routinely recommends adjuvant anti-hormone therapy but was OK with my skipping it because he thought I was at very low risk if recurrence and the Oncotype genomic analysis suggested the same thing.

I had my first annual post-lumpectomy mammo, ultrasound and oncologist's physical exam and all seems well.

That is encouraging. As so many others have said, seems that many Docs prescribe standard protocols, not individualized. Praying my Doc actually sees “me”, not another statistic. Tnx for your response🤗
