What's my recurrence risk without hormone therapy?
Community Member
3 hours agoIDC in one breast, I had a biopsy in both. I had a lumpectomy 6/01/2026. Due to start radiation soon finally. I dont want to do hormonal therapy. Due to how bad the side effects are. I am striving for quality of life not just life. How do I find out what is the percentage for me, of a recurrence, without hormone therapy and with it. My cancer is E+ P- HER2 negative. I am post menopause.
