Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I think you are talking about yourself according to history. The TNM staging also shows lymph node involvement. So, after a modified radical mastectomy breast removal, you need to investigate with IHC of your breast mass. The immunohistochemistry is to be done for at least ER, PR, and HER2.

According to these histopathology and IHC reports, your further chemotherapy treatment will be planned. You can discuss all these with your treating doctor/oncologist.

I hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you.
