@Mazbeth thanks for sharing, nice to hear from another teacher!
There is only a specific group of BC patients who are recommended for Genomic testing to determine chemo suitability. (From memory: grade 0-2, 0-3 lymph nodes - preferably zero -involved, Hormone+ HER- ). Hence why it doesn't get offered as standard. Plus it's still not publicly funded. My Ki67 was also low (9), indicating that chemo may not be highly effective.
I'm all out of sick leave and, due to moving interstate 7 years ago, don't qualify for LSL yet. Thankfully we decided (pre-cancer diagnosis) to make some lifestyle changes including selling our investment property to reduce our expenses. Thankfully this means that we aren't under much financial stress at the moment. I feel so fortunate and grateful for that fact.
