An Oncotype score can be done on the lump to help determine the likelihood of a recurrence. An oncotype score, also known as an Oncotype DX recurrence score, is a number between 0 and 100 that predicts the likelihood of breast cancer returning after treatment. The score is calculated by measuring the activity of specific genes in breast cancer tissue. The test can be run on a core biopsy or a post-surgery tumor sample, and is best ordered before treatment planning begins.

I had a lumpectomy 1 week ago. I've chosen not to have radiation. I'm almost 70 years old and I'm likely not to be around for another 20 years.

Good for you! I had the same; lumpectomy in 2019 and rejected radiation (chemo wasn't recommended because my numbers were too low) and ALL conventional treatments. I chose to use a holistic doctor along with high dose vitamin C infusions and natural supplements. I'm in year five cancer free. I'm almost 55 years old.

@motherofthreeb6337 Great! I'm very happy for you. Yes, I've heard high doses of vitamin c are beneficial. I was told before surgery that they would some surrounding lymph nodes as well to test for cancer. I didn't know what lymph nodes were. So I did a bit of research on the lymphatic system. When I found out that it's the system that protects us from diseases I said "no" to having any of them removed.

That's awesome you were empowered enough to do only what you wanted. I'm 68, doing the same, lumpectomy, no to chemo,radiation and the hormone blocker. I'm taking some alternative things but I'm not sure for how long. I wish I had of said no to the lymph node removal. I did ask if she could just do a needle aspiration and she said no. The nodes were neg. Surgery was 7weeks ago and that area is still sore. I wish you both years of health 🩷
