Thanks for the responses. X
Still not really in a better place in regards to my Genetic info. Saw a brilliant Oncologist at Peter Mac and she is also saying that there is still controversy around the evidence and or data about how the Pharmacogenetics of the CYP2D6 genome will metabolize Tamoxifen.
I asked if I do take it, could we monitor the levels of the active ingredient. She said no, because regardless of the levels it might be still helping in some way. This sounds an awful lot like antidepressants to me π‘ We donβt know actually how they work, but they might πππ
Itβs complicated I suppose...you read good sources of information, and you just wonder... maybe they donβt always get to see the most up to date info???
Anyway Ive rang the place where I had my genetic test done and am awaiting a phone call back from a geneticist... hopefully this will help with my decision.
I have had the Endopredict test also. I was just over the median of reoccurrence risk. That test DID help me make the decision to have Chemo.
Thanks again for letting me vent !
Much love π
