I have read, much to my surprise, that grade one, er+,pr+, her2 neg breast cancer has a higher rate of recurrance than grade 2 or 3. I am very puzzled and dismayed by this news as I was told my recurrance rate was low due to hormone positive, low grade cancer. I did have a sentinal node microscopically positive, but the oncologist treated me with 4xTC and I am on Arimidex. I had a bilateral mastectomy because I chose to do so. I am 2 and 1/2 years out and was feeling pretty good about things until I read the recent posting on M.D. Anderson's site about this surprising discovery. I guess I couldn't have treated it anymore aggressively but what is a person suppose to think? I admit I am terrified of recurrance.
