Hi there my details are: infilit rating bc grade 2 20mm. One lymph node with micromet .8 hormone recept, pr pos and her 2 neg. treatment: lumpectomy, radiation and tamoxafin. At he time when sugeon told me results apparently 3 oncologists at private hospital said due to micromete they recommended chemo. However I reacted quite dramatically and she referred me to a oncologist some distance away - and later I found out that she generally doesn't refer to hospital colleagues : he said with my results he feels that surgery was key and hormone treatment vital. Radiation ok for added insurance but that chemo would only add about 2 percent better prognosis and given the risks a and he felt that chemo, in my case was like 'bombing Vietnam: bit hit and miss really. So this instantly felt 'right' for me and I had a sense that 'I can do this'. For me it's the right doctor for me and also what almost I feel intiutively. Later at the public radiation hospital the oncologist said they would recommend the same. Best wishes.
