I was stage 1 er/pr +, her2-, negative nodes but my oncotype score was 27. Chemo was recommended and I did it..
definitely agree - it’s your body..

Do ypur research and talk with your doctor. You decide if you want chemo because it's your body, your health and ultimately your life so be a part of the decision making.

I agree. I will do what he recommends. Wondering how many treatments and how long it took for you to complete them.

I had 25 so I had chemo and radiation. Chemo was not easy, but I am still here :)

Hi Julie, I had a lumpectomy in Aug for stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma ER/PR+, HER2-. My Oncotype was 21 and I won't be doing radiation either. I had 1 positive lymph node and waiting on Signatera test results to see if there's any stray cancer cells. I'm working with a naturopath to handle hormones and Hasimoto's. I've lost 27 lbs since going keto and have zero sugar and carbs and lots of supplements. I've heard anything under 25 doesn't require chemo but pretty sure I wouldn't do it no matter what.
