I was diagnosed with infiltrating ductal carcinoma on June 22, 2007. I had a lumpectomy on July 24th, with a Sentinel Node Biopsy. The margins were clear, the SNB was neg. for cancer, and there was no evidence of metastasis. I am grade 2, and stage 1. I was ER and PR positive (3+) The surgeon says she got all the cancer with the lumpectomy. My question is, can I get by with radiation only, or will the recommend chemo? Because I'm ER and PR positive, will I have to do the Hormone blocker pills? I meet with my oncologist for the first time on Aug. 8th. I'm sure I'll get lots of information and answers then, but I'm just so confused, and kinda scared. Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lynn
