I've just recently been diagnosed with bc, 3 tumors, 2.2cm, 1.5cm and a tiny one with lymph node involvement. I'm ER positive, HER2 negative, and the oncotype Dx test number was 18, borderline between low and moderate. My onc decided that she wasn't going to put me on chemo at this time and use Femara to shrink my tumors. She feels that this is a good theraphy for me. This just might be good for you and if it avoids chemo again, that would be great. Wishing you the best and let us know how you're doing. Sunrae

Glad you got some good news!

Glad you got some good news!

I am ER and PR+ and HER2negative. Your pathology report will determine if you need chemo, but, it sounds like you won't from what you wrote here. Good luck!

I was diagnosed in June, 2009. Had a bilateral mastectomy on June 23. My tumor was 4.5 cm and pathology report said HER2 negative. My oncologist had an Oncotype DX test on the tumor and my number was 8, which mean no chemo. I've been on Arimidex (post menopausal) now since that time and doing well. I also had no lymph node invasion and clear margins.Good luch and keep us posted.

Hi Everyone! I have good news, I think. I finally got a result from my pathology test. My cancer was estrogen sensitive and PR was slightly sensitive. They don't have the HER2 results yet. This is so encouraging to me. I know I will have to take Tamoxifen or something for 5 years, but it will help to keep it from coming back. The first time I had BC, I was ER negative and PR negative and HER2 negative. I had chemo. This time the cancer was in the other breast. I am thinking MAYBE I won't have to have chemo this time. Of course I won't know anything for sure until I see the oncologist on Wednesday.
