I had a mastectomy the first time. The 2% risk was from Oncotyoe Dx. Anastrozole was prescribed and I took it with few side effects. Nine months later I felt a small lump at end of incision. Thought it was scar tissue but biopsy confirmed cancer. Had lumpectomy and then surgeon said to do chemo and radiation, no questions asked.

Where did you have lumpectomy? You said that you had mastectomy.
With that low score of 2%, sounds like they left some cancer in there.. it was the same cancer.

Wow @mugs24cancer. I have not heard a story like that, with such low risk, a mastectomy and anastrazole.
I am wondering why they don't test the local recurrence with Oncotype! I never knew they did chemo for a recurrence like this. Gosh, good luck!
Cancer is so unpredictable. This really shows that.
