I have been always hopeful since the initial diagnosis. Good news all around in that it was Stage 1 grade 2, no nodal involvement. Now guys, I'm reading your comments on here and I'm wondering if I made a stupid decision along this journey.
Hear me out....
I turned 30 and as a birthday gift I was told I have breast cancer. I do not have children. This is a desire of my heart sometimes in the future. The cancer was HER2 negative but positive for ER And PR. So I knew that after surgery, Tamoxifen was a must and that is alright.
What I did not want to do is chemotherapy in all its shapes and forms. I therefore declined the Oncotype test. I just didn't want it. I didn't want to know anything that would make me think about Chemotherapy given all the side effects and my desire to have babies.
Now I'm on radiotherapy and that's alright. I'm wondering guys if you think I can still ask for that Oncotype test. I know I could be panicking by reading some of the stories here but I want to hear your thoughts. Do you think they can still do the test after I have had my radiotherapy? Just to be sure?
Thank you in advance
Sorry Solace, I typed the attached response and then the website glitched and it was lost! As this isn’t my first time this has happened I’d screenshot my response so I hope you can read it, if not I’ll type it again xx
