Dreading My Appointment Tomorrow For Results For DX Onco Test

I have been waiting for just over 4 weeks for my DX Onco test results as there was a delay and I will know tomorrow my treatment plan. The call that I have been so desperate to receive came this morning and has been making me feel sick, anxious and scared of what is to come tomorrow.

Just over a month ago my oncologist initially referred me for Radiotherapy and hormone therapy treatment so I thought ok I sort of know where I am going and the light at the end of my tunnel was slowly shining through. However, because the radiotherapy was put on hold until my results come back I was thrown back into limbo because Chemotherapy may be beneficial. My cancer is HER2 negative and ER positive. 

I am feeling like I have been told that I have cancer all over again waiting for these results and don’t feel strong enough to cope. I get angry with myself especially when others have gone through so much more than me and are truly amazing. I just cannot seem to be positive today and am really struggling about getting my results tomorrow. 

Love Netty xx

    Please pretty please don't beat yourself up for having a day when you feel scared and worried. We all have them.  Whatever the results once you've got them and the plan is clearer I' m sure you will feel better. They are leaving no stone unturned to make sure you are getting the treatment that is right for you.

    You are certainly allowed to feel the way you do and sometimes comparing yourself to people worse off doesn't help at all. This time tomorrow things will be clearer. In the mean time sending a huge cyber hug from me

  • Thank you Bagrat17

    it really helps that you all care and understand what is going on in my mind. I just want to know now because the waiting and putting my life on hold has been hell these past few weeks. At least the oncologist appointment is first thing so I won’t be wondering all day.

    Thank you for the hug it is really needed at the moment. 

    Love Netty xx

    Morning

    Fingers tightly crossed you get a low Oncotype score today - Worse score is the intermediate area where they let you decide about chemo :-/

  • Thank you G n J.

    I am going to share my results with you all and it was really good news. My score was 7% of it reoccurring within 10 years so I am low risk. No Chemotherapy is needed but Radiotherapy for 4 weeks and Tamoxifen for 10 years.

    Thank you to you all for being my strength of support. I am booked in for my plan appointment next week and hopefully start radiotherapy the week after so hopefully just before Christmas my treatment will finish and I can walk back to happiness again and live with new normal life again.

    love to you all!
