Hi @Beachlady, I had a 2.7cm tumor with satellite (benign) no nodes involved Grade 1. Oncologist told me my Ki 67 was 20% and they wanted to do the onco testing to get a better picture. Everything else for me was low risk. High score on test meant definite chemo for me, low score no chemo. I asked about middle range and was told they didnt know what they would do. So I decided because everything other than this one test pointed to low chance of recurrence I was going to go with the information on hand. So no chemo, no radiation, hormone therapy for however long. Do I stress about my decision - nope because I based it on information I had at the time. Do I worry about recurrence - well really who doesn't? BUT I'm happy with what I've chosen. Wishing you all the best for your decision because it is hard. Xx Cath
