  Grade is also a factor to be taken into account.

  I was the same as you and was a grade 2. I had a bilateral mx and because of my OncotypeDX score being 15, I am only doing Tamoxifen. You should have that done if you can. It helps make the decision easier..

  Is there a specific reason why you are so ambivalent with the chemo?- my situation ws similar to yours 18 months ago and I  sure wanted  chemo.
