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. ...
Hi Tamlyn. I was diagnosed this year too and was told chemo was up to me as it wasn’t clear about how beneficial it would be. Tumour showed low possibility of recurrence but age wise I was at higher risk. I went for the Oncotype test. For me it was $5000 well spent. Showed a less than 1% benefit from chemo. Chemo can be pretty hard on the body so didn’t want to go through it unless I really had to.
You’ll make the best decision for you. Hang in there
