Hi..re oncotypedx test

My surgeon asked my permission to send for the testing during my results appointment after surgery.

Not all hospital trusts offer this test though, so it's worth asking.

I should have added,  by the tine I saw the Clinical Oncologist the results were back so she was able to advise on treatment on the first visit.

Hi, JulieToo. My surgeon told me she sent the oncotype shortly after surgery, so I didn't have to ask. Ask your breast care nurse about it. It's common practice here to offer oncotyping but I'm not sure everywhere does. The waiting period is usually 2-3 weeks but be aware that it can take much longer... mine took 7 weeks! Good luck with your results. X

thanks , I am having a telephone consultation with Oncology  next week as I cant make it to hospital, was told by surgeon radiotherapy ..I know there is a long wait for radiotherapy at our hospital..but hoping no chemo..

I hope that for you too. X

Hi, my surgeon sent a sample of the biopsy to America I had right at the beginning, cost me £3500 as, my trust don't cover the cost

Best wishes x

My surgeon asked permission when I was back for results, she did say it would be the oncologist who would discuss results with me though when full pathology back as I was back in today for further op as margins weren’t clear
