Hi, my mum has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. She had her pathology results back on 16th October and now will receive her onco type score on 19th November, but the letter says ‘appointment with clinical oncology team’, please report to the ‘renal outpatients department.’
just a few questions:
is it normal for onco type results to take almost 5 weeks after pathology results?
why are the results being given in the renal department? Does this mean chemo will be needed so they are there to take blood tests ect?
Thank-you, it’s all very overwhelming.
