Hi Blanka. I had the Oncotype DX test - it took about 2 weeks to get the result. My oncologist is very supportive and on top of the latest studies and he communicated to me about the pros and cons.

Managed to bypass chemo, my treatment plan now is tamoxifen daily + Zoladex monthly. The hardest thing is making the decision; once I'm there, I'm taking it one day at a time. You do what you think is best for you. All the very best.
