Hi @StrongCoffee,
I've messaged you privately with my stats
See https://www.bcna.org.au/news/2020/02/oncotype-dx-again-rejected-for-medicare-subsidy/
“MSAC advised the Minister for Health that the evidence presented for Oncotype DX did not give the Committee confidence that the test would identify those patients who could safely avoid chemotherapy or those patients who would benefit from adding chemotherapy,”
However, my oncologist seemed to think the test is reliable, planned my treatment base on it, and said they would offer it to everyone if they could. (Please note they did not inform me of its existence - I was booked in for chemo - I only knew about it because my clever surgeon suggested it). It's certainly not a clear-cut, resounding vote of confidence, but I think I'm glad I skipped Chemo. Time will tell. It's been hard enough without chemo. Hats off and heartfelt best wishes to those who had/have to endure it and the side effect.
