It's great that your Oncotype DX score indicates you may not need chemotherapy - that must bring some relief. Many people in this community have had focal LVI with various treatment paths, so hopefully others will share their experiences to help you feel less alone in navigating these decisions. Your medical team is best positioned to weigh all the factors in your specific case, including the focal LVI alongside your other pathology results.

I did not have LVI but my 1 lymphnode had a macro cell 5mm. I did not have chemo as my onco score was a 5 but due to lymphnode involved my 9 yesr recurrence was 10% if I take the AI.
