I would LOVE to hear from ANY survivors who had high Ki67 !!!! (Also hormone positive with high Ki67). My Ki67 is 75%, which feels like a death sentence, even though half way through chemo, the tumor has shrunk by about 80%. It has been an emotionally challenging week and I could use some positive (really positive) stories.

Jenlee ~ I also wanted to add that the majority of people that are doing really well and far out don't hang out here much...they are busy living life. :) ... so don't be too discouraged if you don't see a ton of long term survivors responding.

You're welcome. :) .... also, another thing... this site is fairly "new" ...so since most people usually don't seek out this type of forum unless they are newly diagnosed and/or in active treatment....you aren't going to see many people past 5 years as active members on here.
Hope you are having a great day.

Hi-
My ki67 was 98%. I was freaked out. My Onc told me that most young women have high ki67, that made me feel a bit better. And my chemo is working quite well, as they predicted.
Cheers.

sflow, I think that one of the surgeons we consulted with told us that some labs/doctors use Ki67 and some don't.
