Do I need chemo for 1-3 nodes positive

Starting to wonder/worry should I have been offered chemo. 
I know we all have different treatment plans but just have to ask and try to put my mind at rest .
I was dx with multifocal  invasive lobular cancer . Stage 2 grade 2 estrogen positive and one lymph node positive . 
Was told chemo wouldn't work . They don't give it for 1-3 nodes !!! 
Was given the choice of radiation !!
Had a mastectomy , axillary clearance , rads , zoladex and aromasin . 
Anyone know about this ? 
Just read an artical about genomic testing to decide whether woman are likely to benefit from chemo when they have 0-3 positive lymph nodes and are ER positive.
my breast tissue is gone so to late for that but still carnt help but question shouldn't I of had chemo .
 Thanks x
