Hi there,

I just had my lumpectomy surgery on 3/22 The pathology report is in and this what I know: Stage 1 Grade 1 ER+ 100%. PR+ 65%, HER2-, no lymph involvement and clean margins...... From the beginning of my journey I was told that I probably wouldn't need chemo because of the favorable characteristics of the tumor... However, I had an Oncotype test done and of course I would have to fall in the intermediate range with a score of 25... That puts a whole new dimension on my treatment plan. I am meeting with the MO on Wednesday.. I am PRAYING that chemo will not be suggested because of the above and that radiation and tamoxifen ( or similar) would suffice.

Any input would be appreciated... Thanks in advanceMee

    Hi there. Unfortunately 25 is high intermediate and IMO chemo will be discussed. Mine was 27 but I decided not to have it. Just remember no matter what your doc recommends its your decision. My advice is to make an informed decision that you can live with no matter what the future brings. Not saying this is easy. But nothing is....Good luck and keep us posted
