Lumpectomy and lymph node surgery next week. I have authorized unilateral mastectomy if surgeon and pathologist determine it is necessary once the tissue is being tested during surgery. I have been taking Letrozole for 3 weeks, with the hopes that they would test my Ki 67 from surgery and if it changed and indicated my body was responding to the medication then probably radiation and no chemo. The concern was over treating since my Ki67 is borderline. Plan changed with Oncotype results. Surgery is still next week however Oncotype came back at 30 so now I will do chemo. I have decided to go ahead with surgery first because the chemo plan is different depending on the number of lymph nodes involved.

I agree the waiting is the worst. Wishing you the best.
