Stage II, invasive ductal carcinoma

kami88

I have been diagnosed with Stage II, invasive ductal carcinoma, node neg. ER positive, Her2/neu neg, with a 1mm margin near the chest wall. The tumor size was 2.1cm and no lymphovascular invasion. I had a mastectomy. The Oncotype DX score was intermediate. I am post menopausal. It has been recommended that I have Hormone Therapy, probably aromatase inhibitor.. My question is.. would you recommend radiation therapy?
thank you for your time...

Hi, The only thing I worry about would be the narrow margin near the chest wall. I'd have to seriously think about the radiation. What does the doc say?
