Is Chemotherapy Recommended For This Pathology Report Indicating Breast Cancer?
My breast cancer tumor measured 1.1 x 0.9 x 0.9. It was invasive ductal carcinoma and grade 2. Estrogen receptors were positive (95% strong) and Progesterone receptors Negative (<1%)After surgery the Pathology report indicated the margins were clear and the lymph nodes were clear.My surgeon said I only needed radiation treatments and taking a hormone pill for 5 years. My oncologist is recommending the Oncotype test be done to see if I need to have Chemotherapy.Is that test neceaaary and do you recommend Chemotherapy?

hi
after seeing your report I feel you will need chemotherapy at an interval of 21 days for 6 rounds followed by radiation and hormonal therapy.
oncotype test is not necessary.
after treatment is over do not forget to do yearly mammography test.
