@FLClover thank you for sharing your experience. Mine is grade 2 and the size puts into up a level from yours as well.
However we have no idea how fast or slow growing it is beyond the Ki67 number. I could have had it slowly creeping around in there for years! There was over a month between MRI and surgery, and the removed tumour was the size measured on the MRI.
I love a bit of scientific reading, so have been reading up and if my cancer is a slow growing sort there appears to be no benefit to chemo. I just worry, as I guess the Onc team did, that given the size of it, just relying on the Ki67 to make that decision seems a bit risky.
