so I had my results today : all cancer is gone! Clear margins and clear lymph nodes. Had 3 removed and all cleared. My consultant was my surgeon and he had tears in his eyes as he delivered the news. He was so pleased. He said the two lumps he removed were the sizes they predicted (9mm and 18mm) he also said there were other cancerous cells in my breast.
But all is gone.
Im in shock. Doesn’t feel real. I’m so happy. Just waiting the results of my onco dx test to put a treatment plan together.
Thank you to everyone for your kind words and support. I don’t know what else to say now xx
Morning lady_tinkerbell
Below 7 means the chemo is of so little benefit it wouldn't be offered.
With the Oncotype range anything under 18 is considered a low risk score, obviously the lower the better.
This is the link to Oncotype for more info about what they test.
Copied in the score card below as well.
Hope this helps, G n' J
Hi Tinkerbell,
I don’t know enough about it to be able to confirm but your oncologist will have a idea of your treatment plan before the test because my BC nurse said it does depend on your age, treatment you’ve had, the type of cancer, there are so many factors but it is a diagnostic tests on the DNA of your tumour to see the likelihood of it returning within 10 years and know if Chemo will be beneficial. The treatment plan for every cancer patient is so different.
Dreamthief is really knowledgable and helpful on all this cancer treatment journey.
Fingers crossed for you that it is good news.
Love Netty xx
