Hi there
I have had surgery to remove the breast cancer 5 weeks ago and I am recovering well from op . I had pathology results last week and was told I had a rare invasive papillary carcinoma not an IDC as thought . I have clear margins and the cancer is oestrogen and progesterone positive with one lymph node involved . The plan for treatment is still radiotherapy and hormone therapy but now there is a question mark over chemo . The oncologist has requested a Ki-67 test to decide if chemo would benefit . It was also Her 2 negative . I am so terrified of chemo . I have also heard that the ki-67 is controversial. Does anyone else had this diagnosis or experiencing a similar situation? Would love to hear from you . I am not seeing the oncologist fir another 2 weeks .. thank you
Hi Bella
I was diagnosed with oestrogen and progesterone positive breast cancer with one lymph node involved last year and had chemo as well as radiotherapy and I am now hormone therapy for five years. I didn't find the chemo too bad, though I won't say it was easy, it was doable.
Wishing you the best of luck with your treatment.
Best wishes

Hi Bella05
Thanks. Chemo was part of the treatment because of the node involvement. xx
