No, here’s how it went. I got breast cancer, stage 2 only because of the size of it. I had a lumpectomy in ‘12 and I was cleared of cancer. Sentinel nodes showed clear too. But I had a high risk of recurrence, according to this fairly new test, archetype DX. So they recommended chemo and radiation. So I had them. Just ruined my health, but I did it.
Now two years later, I’ve had two more cancers, at the same time apparently. So I don’t see that the chemo, whose side effects affected me greatly for two years, did me much good.

So sorry you area in this. God bless and may He help you get through.

Your history sounds the same as my mom, who had exactly the same situation last year. Dear God. Except I don’t know what you mean by risk with DX. She had no treatment except the daily pills, maybe the same as yours.
