? Chemotherapy
Please HELP!! Hi everyone, i am 45 years old and i have recently been diagnosed with; ER positive Ki-67 positive Tumour size 12mm Toumour has been surgically removed 6 weeks ago with clear marg...
Hi TCH- that sounds like a difficult decision. My situation is a bit different as the oncologist recommended chemotherapy for me (stage 2; grade 2/3; premenopausal). She was able to see on her computer the likely survival benefit chemotherapy would give in my situation and it was over the threshold where she would recommend chemotherapy. It may be worth discussing at your next appointment if you have not already done so, the likely benefits and risks in that situation in more detail to see if that would assist. I was also offered oncotype testing but decided against it as in my situation it would not have changed the treatment. Perhaps in a case like yours, it would be worth considering that test to get more detailed information on the risk of recurrence to help inform your decision. Wishing you well with your treatment :)
Thank you for your response that’s great advice :)
My breast predict was;
surgery only 82%
+hirmone therapy (4.4%) 87%
+chemotherapy (2.2%) 89%
