onco type testing

Less than one minute read time.

I have to wait to see my onco type score. I'm very nervous as I really don't want chemo. at my age I really don't know if chemo will be right for me if recommended. i'm healthy but how long will i be if i do chemo? My gut is telling me say no! just do radiation.

  • I don't know what type of cancer you have, but I asked what was the outcome of chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment, would it shrink the tumour much and improve my chances. The oncologist said It may not shrink the tumour much and there's no guarantees. I felt that the chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment would have to be of significance to make it worthwhile prior to 9 hours of surgery. Ask questions and do some research. Good luck and kind regards Frank.
