Has anyone experienced contradictory breast cancer test results?

My surgeon and oncologist said they won't know really anything until surgery mri's pet scans blood work you really have to get in there and pinpoint exactly what it is

I have idc that's grade 2 with ki-67 of 32% Surgery tomorrow then see from there

Thank you for your comments. My surgery isn’t until 10/26.

I was diagnosed 4 weeks ago. My diagnosis was almost exactly the same as yours.

Sounds like what I’ve heard from two surgeons. Testing the cancer they remove tells the whole story of the situation.

I have invasive lobular carcinoma. Doesn’t seem to be in lymph node ER/PR+ HER2- Ki67 is 25% and they staged it at a 2. Trying to decide between the lumpectomy with radiation or mastectomy.

Chauntay: I have ILC . Er/Pr + her-2-. No cancer in sentinel lymph node. What was your Onco score? I had lumpectomy with clear margins at Mayo, Fl.. I’ll be 68 Sunday. Because of my age and the low grade Onco score 17% and small size 0.8, I qualify for hypo fractional radiation which is a five day radiation versus a five week and no chemo. It is a standard of care for Mayo to do radiation if chemo is not advised. However there have been studies in Canada and international medical journals that women my age with these dynamics can pass on radiation. I look forward to your replies and I will pray for you.

I have idc with lymph node involvement. Had lumpectomy and node removal and now will do radiation.

I don’t have an ONCO score yet. Size 1.2cm. I meet with an oncologist for the first time today. I will ask him about hypo fractional radiation. Would you recommend the hypo fractional?

Similar. I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma stage 2 with only 2 lymph nodes + on October 6th, ER, and PR + and Her2 low Ki67 80%. Genetics came back negative. PET scan found supraclavical node and biopsy confirmed + so now stage 3. But I still have no answer to why the high Ki67 with the ER and PR +.

Contradictory test results can definitely feel confusing and concerning, especially when you're already processing a new diagnosis. Many patients in this community have shared similar experiences where different markers seem to tell conflicting stories about their cancer. The additional testing during your lumpectomy should provide clearer answers and help your medical team create the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific situation.
