Thanks so much for replying Katie,
I hope you are well now as it sounds like you really have it your all!
Im still waiting for Oncotype result due next week. However such an amazing thing happened yesterday. I went to discuss all the hormone therapies with my oncologist and we revisited my histopathology and in the last week the pathologists had reviewed the microscopic results and issued a supplement report that down graded the grade from 3 to 2!
Im hopeful this is a good sign the oncotype will hopefully come back low in which case I will likely opt for radiation and hormone therapies and not chemo.
It’s quite a rollercoaster of highs and lows so I am celebrating this new news!

Hi Chan7,
I'd love to know where you landed with your results and decision. I'm in a VERY similar situation, with very similar results.
I'm 47 and have Grade 3, ER+ PR+ , Ki67 20%, LVI present.
Lymph nodes clear.
One of my numerous treatment options is pre-cautionary chemo, and I'm currently deciding whether to go ahead with molecular profiling. I feel that if it can prevent me having chemo (as I would prefer radiation and hormone therapies), it will be worth the cost.
I'm very keen to read which path you've chosen.
