Onco type dx tests

Hi dak2, I am Eo+ Pr+, Her2- and clear nodes and clear margins. I had a unilateral mastectomy which came back as a grade 1 cancer and also had a benign lesion next to the 2.7cm tumor. I have not had chemotherapy or radiation therapy but am on Tamoxifen to block the hormones.  I was offered onco testing and was told that I was at a low risk of my cancer recurring but that for $5000-00 I could have the tissue sent to America to determine how high the risks were of it recurring and whether I should have chemotherapy. I was given a less than 2% chance of recurrence without this testing. So  I asked why if my percentage was so low what benefit was the testing. It was explained to me that there were one or two factors that might push me from low possibility to medium possibility of recurrence. I then confirmed that if my chances were high that I would be given chemotherapy - correct!! So what if the results come back as medium?? What treatment is then offered?? The reply was honest and it stunned me because they said they didn't know what they would do!!! So I opted to not have the testing done. My breast tissue did not go on holiday - I decided I would go instead and I would take the 2% possibility and be quite happy with that. You need to weigh up whether or not it is right for you and the benefits if you can derive from it if you have the testing done. Wishing you all the best. Xx Cath
