    It has nothing to do with what you did or didn't do, we just get it.

    Exactly Meow. We just drew the unlucky card. So many women live the healthy lifestyle and still get BC. No family history - still get it. Doctors don’t really know why some of us do get BC. All the so called risk factors doesn’t apply to everyone. In my case my sister and I both have BC probably because our mother had it although 70% of BC cases are not genetic so we fall in the 30% category.

    Had my Oncotype score not come back low I can’t say for sure I would have done chemo. Living with that decision however, is really difficult because if you have a recurrence you would be wondering what if..even if the benefit is only a small percentage.
