Hi Linchit, Sorry to hear that you have joined this club. I would be looking for information from your oncologist as well to get an overall view as to what the next steps could be. I found the surgeon was basically interested in removing my turmour by surgery but didn't have strong views beyond that whereas my oncologist gave extra advice on long term plans and this may affect your decision making. My tumour was also Grade 2 but strongly eostrogen receptive hence I am now on an aromatase inhibitor. My familial history with breast cancer led to a mastectomy being my best choice and it is things like this that your oncologist can advise you on. Reach out to Breast Care Australia for more support ( this was through my surgeon) and this support group also has a wealth of wisdom. Keep asking questions if you are unsure as it may help to clarify what you want. Thinking of you, Maree
