don't want to do chemo or hormone therapy
I was diagnosed with Infiltrating Lobular Carcinoma (ILC) Grade 2. Oestrogen positive 80% & progesterone positive 50%, HER2 ILC negative. I had a lumpectomy and had 1 lymph node removed. Margins and...
The program Predict...breaks down the difference of chemo and hormone treatment. For me I know as I am es+ and her2+ ..the hormone treatment at the 5 and 1 year mark was the biggest difference, even more so than herceptin.
To look at predict. ..a calculator tool,
You need all pathology, tumor size, node results etc.
The lumpectomy with radio vs mastectomy sit much the same with results so predict is more about the other treatments.

The other thing good to know is your Ki67 result

Sometines known or appear on path as MIB1

This rate is often what determines treatment and recurrence risks.
Your oncologist or breast surgeon would use these tools and could explain it more thoroughly than looking yourself or even your bc nurse. Kath x
