Hi San-Dee,
I know how you feel about the test, I did it too, an expensive exercise! I came back with high numbers so had to have chemo, at least I knew it was the correct path for me. But while I was waiting for the results I had a few family members on my back saying, if it was them (which it wasn't !) they would have chemo just to make sure regardless of the oncotype test results. Well chemo is the pits, wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy, I wish I did not have to have it. 5 months later I am still not myself, everyone says give it time but I am sick of being a cancer patient. Sorry for my raving, I know you are probably thankful you do not have to have chemo but you must also wonder what is the right way to go?, am I making the correct decision? what if the test was wrong? We all put so much trust in our doctors and we have no choice but to do that. All the best with radiation is a bit of a trial but you really do get use to getting your boobs out for one and all to inspect!
regards
Kim
