Oncotype is KEY to treatment if you are Estrogen positive which is 80% of Breast Cancers.
A favorable Oncotype of under 25 for post menopausal women, 18 for pre-menopausal women, means CHEMO is NOT beneficial and therefore not administered. 🌸
Yes ask questions. What are my options. I had stage 2 breast cancer with 2 lymph’s involved one of them micro so they have to state 2 lymph’s were involved. I had lumpectomy and reduction while in surgery to have the girls look the same. Have 6-8 recovery time I had whole breast radiation for 5 weeks. Had some redness but placing cream on help out a lot. For the next 5-7 years will be taking hormone therapy. I have minimal side effects right now. Has a few in the beginning before my body except the blocking my estrogen.
My cancer was estrogen driven her2 negative.
Oncotype is 20
Ki67 is at 10 percent.
So didn’t need chemo because of low/ medium reoccurrence status. Hope this helps to get you started on writing down some of your questions and thoughts Sending prayers
