Hi everyone -
I'm confused as I (57 yrs) recently finished radiation (invasive Lobular -2cm , grade 2 ILC, strongly ER+, PR+, HER2 neg, 0/1 SN) after lumpectomy . My onco was 14 so skipped chemo, and started Letrozole. I saw NP at Dana Farber yesterday for 6 month follow up and she scheduled a diagnostic mammo for Oct (year after initial diagnosis). I never received any info on tumor markers, this Ki-67 you're all referring to. Is this something that should have been reviewed? Also I mentioned that with my dense breasts, why am I waiting an entire year before another scan/mammo and the NP said the oncologist feels "prior studies showed that a 3D mammogram 1 year after the last study was the best approach – mammograms done 6 months after surgery did not add anything."

I realize that MRI seems to be best for dense breasts but onco said not necessary unless mammo finds something. Any thoughts/comments much appreciated!
