DECISION MADE
Hi all,
Well today was the day for another opinion.
I came away from the appointment and felt like a whole weight had lifted. The Surgeon, Dr Lucia Saliba is going to give me new boobs. She is ...
So the other bit is ER PR and Her2 neu status.
They will retest all this again after removal so it might be slightly different mine was....and then that will determine what comes next as well as lymph nodes.
If ES Pos only. ..they can now do an oncotype DS test on the tumour which will determine if it is likely to return and can be a better option that just having chemo regardless. If it is also Her2 this isn't appropriate. The test is about $1,000 and isn't coveted by PBS currently.
Morecthings tobthonk about but your surgeon will explsin all with your followcup pman orvif referred to an oncologist. Goodluck. Kath x
