partly why I asked... No right answers. I had a lumpectomy and axillary disection ( askek for a sentinal node biopsy but got both- even tho tumor was 7 mm IDC with no evidence of lymphovascular invasion- but that's a separate issue) So...ER+ 90% PR+ 75% HER-2 + IHC3+ ..... with an oncotypedx of 17. I read somewhere 18 gets chemo- as a rule of thumb...unofficially. I had just turned 60. My onc did not feel it necessary to do the FISH.. and I did mumble once at my first visit that I didn't want chemo...Had rads Herceptin every 3 wks for a yr. (finish Sept), Arimidex. I can only hope... All of us can only hope..
