28 unsure on what treatment plan to take
I’m 28 I was diagnosed on the 11th of November 2019. I’m living in Busselton and being treated in Bunbury but have to go to Perth for some appointments. I don’t know the lingo as it’s all very fresh. ...
There is an oncotype dx test that can be done to see if chemo is worthwhile. It is expensive and I'm not sure how long the results take to come back.

Contact the Perth Hospital as they probably have more than one breast care working at that hospital.
Do you have any nodes involved?
Good idea on egg collection even without chemo due to hormone therapy and at least they are stored when it's the right time.
Also somebody may still be answering the helpline Monday
