Me adding that I got my oncotype Dx yesterday and at 64 years old with a score if 17, chemo will have no effect for me, so NO CHEMO! Now we discuss radiation or just hormone blockers and tamoxifen.

Me again. After days of “limbo”, I finally went for radiation treatment “set-up” appointment last Wednesday and had 3 tiny black dot tattoos added:one under breast and one on each side at bra line. Scans were taken to record my position - on my back with arms bent and over my head in back. The following week- Friday did “Simulation” and had an extra clear circular sticker with”x” on it added to my breast. Tomorrow, Monday, I start 16 treatments 5x/week, off on weekends to be finished but May 9.
Then what? How soon will I have an MRI after surgery, healing and radiation? Any guidelines? Thanks!
