HiLauraB27 wishing you all the best for your treatment when it starts on Monday. I didn’t have oncotype testing so my experience is a little different to yours, and my cancer type (“triple positive” meaning HER2 +ve, Oestrogen positive and Progesterone positive) has specific targetted treatment.
But I had a mindset the same asCath62 in that I was looking to give myself the best chance of preventing recurrence. I did take into account the data from some of the trials and felt they supported a decision to go ahead with the treatment, although I accept as best I can there’s no 100 percent guarantees.
I also had a lumpectomy and took the recommended radiation therapy and finished the full course of immunotherapy and chemotherapy.
Now I take an oestrogen suppressing table (aka an aromatase inhibitor) to help prevent hormone triggered recurrence.
I think these are very personal decisions as people weigh up their choices but for me it gave me a sense of control that I had done what I could to give myself the best chance of dealing with breast cancer at this “early stage”
I am sending you lots of positive energy and good wishes for the weeks ahead!
