What size and grade? Did you have an Oncotype Dx? That test tends to determine chemo or no chemo. Does your doc explain their suggestion for treatment?

Hi. Initially it was stage 2a, then oncologist said stage 1b, low grade, slow growing. She said she didn't order the oncotype because it would be low and cause conflicting information. Estrogen receptor postive but not her2. She recommends 5 months chemo, followed by radiation-33 treatments, followed by removal of ovaries and endocrine therapy. I am so overwhelmed. She said because it spread to lymph nodes that is is safe to assume that it has traveled elsewhere in my body.
