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 there TCH, What was you ki67 number? Mine was very high and unfortunately even though I had chemo, the cancer metastasised 3 yrs down the track. My original bc was ER and pr positive, her2 negative, grade 3 cells, 17mm tumor, no lymph involvement but ki67 was at about 70% so very high. I had a lumpectomy with clear margins, radium, chemo and hormone suppression but just bloody unlucky with it metastasised 3 yrs later.
Ask some more questions about your risk profile and likelihood of return so you can weigh it all up.
I wasn't really given a choice on chemo but I was advised it was my best chance and actually when I was diagnosed with metastatic disease my oncologist was shocked as she said she thought i was over treated with my original bc. I think that ki67 factor and the grade3 cells are important factors in considering treatment options.
Hi Cath and thank you for your response. My Ki67 show staining up to 80%. So that’s pretty high isn’t it! So many factors to consider!
I am so sorry to hear that for you. It’s all so scary and overwhelming 😞 i wish you all the very best and good luck 🫶🏼
