Hi, My mom was diagnosed for breast cancer at left breast (Infiltrating Duct Carcinoma) and the biopsy report says, Grade II and Dr. said the stage is II. Its been just 2 weeks, that she had undergone mastectomy of her left breast.
Biopsy Report is:
Tumor size is 2.5 X 3 X 4 cm
10 Lymphnodes were removed and all 10 Nodes are negative for malignancy
ER / PR is Positive and HER2/neu is negative.
Dr. suggested for 4 cylcles of chemo in 3months. ie. once in 21 days. and after that tamoxifen for another 2years.
My doubt is: Is it really necessary for her to undergo chemo.?
Pleaes give ur suggestions. Thanks
