Welcome @Daisyday,
Sux to be here for sure but we all understand where you're at. I never had the ki67 listed either. It doesn't seem to be a standard thing. Same places tell you , some don't. Mine was stage 2 grade 2. There was debate over the stage as it was in more than 4 nodes which would normally make it a stage 3 grade 2, but as the breast lesion was under the 25mm they kept it a 2. Confusing as to how it's all worked out considering how individual each person is.
The thought of chemo scares the beejezus out of everyone. It's another one of the things that is so variable and unfortunately you never know how it's going to go until you start. Nobody ever told me about oncotype tests, but probably didn't need to, given the positive nodes I guess it was a no brainer. I did pretty well chemo all things considered. I manged to work through most of it, kept my hair with the cold cap and did the majority of normal daily things. There was a few rough days here and there but nowhere near what my brain had conjured up at the beginning.
Good luck with your roller coaster lovely.
