    88year old lady 
    past history of hormone positive breast cancer treated 30 years before
    important to involve patient in decision making.
    wait for recurrence score
    I would like to avoid chemotherapy as life expectancy and recurrence score are important factors deciding factors. personalised decision is better than guideline based decision for such patient.

    I prefer to wait until the results of the Oncotype DX are available to decide if only benefit by hormone therapy or chemo. I think she will benefit for Radiotherapy, but i have to take comorbidities  (88 years-old) to decide it
