Just had BMX... Have so many questions. Need advice.

Hi to everyone out there. I have been lurking and learning for a while now. I'm a 57, premenopausal though I had a hysterectomy at 29 they left my ovaries and they are still producing very high levels of estrogen.  I had a diagnostic mamo and ultrasound on 2/26/14 BIRADS 5 susp. for cancer 1.5 cm. tumor. 3/7/14 I had a core needle biopsy, dx below except they were still saying approx. 1.5 cm. 4/4/14 I had BMX no reconstruction and none planned at this time. I told them it was growing I could feel it and I was told that cancer dosen't really grow that fast. Well it has turned out to be 3 1/2 cm. My cancer was painful that's how I found it. I have been to genetic counseling as I have a VERY STRONG family history for breast and ovarian cancer. My B.S. called me today with my path results and I missed the called. The message he left was tumor was 3.5 c.m. clear margins, right breast was clear, nothing in the node,(I don't know how many) he is putting in a referal to oncology and he would call me later in the day. WHAT QUESTIONS DO I ASK HIM? I know this is a mish mash of information I'm just trying to get this out there.

Does this look like I should have chemo? In the reading I have done I think I'm a stage II, would you agree? I appreciate any advice or direction. I have never felt so lost as I have during this process. I feel like I'm suppose to know how to have cancer, nobody tells you what to expect. If wasn't for the lurking I have been doing here I wouldnt know what end is up.
