Re: Stage 2/ grade 2 - is chemo required?
Thank you for your response. My fear at the moment is the port placement as I have difficult veins and prone to keloids and hematoma. Actually I'm scared of the entire process. I am now waiting to see the medical oncologist to discuss the next step ie chemo . Second surgery will be post chemo.

Stage 2/ grade 2 - is chemo required?
Hi all. I'm new here and just had my lumpectomy on 16/1/23. Reports mentioned 40mm tumour on right breast. Re-excision is required to obtain a clear margin and one lymph node is involved (has cancer) 🙁. Ki67 is 40%-50% and I'm ER+ and PR+. Oncologist mentioned I need chemo as one lymph node is involved however after reading this forum it may not be the case. I am 44 years old. Can I refuse chemo and still be safe ? I feel so lost 😞
