Question hello, i had a grade 3 (T2,P3,M3) infiltrating ductal carcinoma, measuring 16mm, with possible lymphovascular invasion seen, i had clear lymph nodes. i was told that i would have chemo, then when i saw the oncologist he said i would not benefit from it. because of this i fought to have my ovaries removed (i have a family history of cancer), i am now on aromasin. should i have been offered chemotherapy?
thank you
Answer What stage did they classify your tumor in? If possible provide me with your full pathology report. You can in that case copy it here. I assume that your tumor was hormone receptor positive? Was a HER2 analysis done? If so its result? What other treatment did you have?
