Hi. Sorry about your diagnosis of BC; it’s such a shock and a steep learning curve on what the next steps are going to be. Lots of decisions to make. If you can have a trusted person to accompany you to appointments an extra pair of ears is very helpful.

I was diagnosed Jan. 2022. I had an ONCOTYPE of 20 ( also from biopsy). which translated into no benefit with chemotherapy. If you are pre menopausal I think you need to clear 18. I also am very strongly Er PR positive and therefor I do qualify for the benefit of hormone therapy ( it’s actually anti hormone therapy referred to as AI or Aromatase Inhibitor). There are 3 products. I use Anastrozole. I’m nearing my 8th month and have had very mild joint discomfort here and there which I treat with stretching and exercise.

Your oncologist will discuss what he/she believes is the right treatment for your unique set of circumstances.
