@windyshores I have same questions for @mugs24cancer
Was the 2% recurrence chance predicted from Oncotype?Did you take hormone therapy (Tamoxifen or any other medicine) right after your surgery?

@windyshores @rida In the above post I believe she already answered this, and if I read it correctly she had; mastectomy, then anastrazole, then lumpectomy in scar tissue, then the chemo and radiation.
“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.”
There are always going to be exceptions and cancer can be an unpredictable thing, even by the most advanced testing.
Did I get all of this right @mugs24cancer ?
