My oncotype DX score was 22, so there was no Chemo needed (it would not improve my survival rate). I was ER+, PR+ and HER2 Negative. I'm not sure of the TN - I need to go review my paperwork. They did do genetic testing. I had no genes for BC but some family history. I agree Each treatment and person can be different.
I went to the University of Nebraska Medical Center, which takes a team approach to each cancer patient, The whole team decides together - what treatments will be best for each person. Team consists of Surgeon, oncologist, radiologist, Social worker, genetic specialist, and others. I was Stage 1 but grade 3. Each person needs to discuss with their doctor and have a feeling of trust with their doctor. My worst side effect so far is the joints in my hands hurt, it only started a few weeks ago. I've taken the drug for about 5 months. I'm only 63 - I want to be around a lot longer.....

@kathyomaha55 did your team ever suggest hysterectomy? Your whole case is so close to me! I am almost 65 but was grade 2. Going to try aromasin or only next week!
