Hi @mk24
quite similar situation here. I’m 49 and diagnosed early November with
er+pr+ Her2- in left breast. Had mastectomy on 20/11/24 (opted for no recon) and sentinel node biopsy. Lymph nodes and margins came back clear after surgery. Main lesion 2.7cm grade 3, ki67-2%. Surgeon told me a week after surgery that I was all clear and wouldn’t need chemo or radiation, just hormone blockers. Then I met the oncologist on 16/12 who burst my bubble and told me she thought I did need chemotherapy. 😔 Then I had an EndoPredict test done on the tissue taken at surgery; that measures the ‘absolute benefit’ of chemo. That came back as high risk for recurrence so I started chemo on 15/1 and due to finish 30 May. Surgery went well and all healed nicely. Chemo sucks and I’ve only just begun. I don’t know what ILC means but definitely push for full info on the tissue removed at surgery to stratify your risk.
I can’t advise on recon because I opted not to have it.
Good luck with it all. It’s a wild ride for sure x
