Hello Becky...

Thanks for the reply. She was 44 when she was first diagnosed and she is now 48. Her er number was 90% (highly positive). No plans for more children.

Then your wife and you should seriously consult with not only her oncologist but others on her healthcare team - to include a gynecologist and possibly an endocrinologist (as well as a second opinion oncologist) on what exactly to do. For me, there was no question as I am moderately ER+ (50%) and PR neg.

I believe my choice was right for me after research and consultation and I believe you should do the same.
