@FLClover we suspect our current JRT has a bit of chihuahua thrown in as he's very small, bug eyed and completely neurotic!
@AllyJay it sounds like chemo was 100% the best plan of attack for you! I have been asking myself that exact question, will I regret decision a/b if I do get a met one day? Into that mix, throw in possible chemo effects such as 0.25-0.5% risk of developing leukemia. Again, small percentage, but when weighing up against a potentially small percentage of benefit, it becomes a proportionately bigger risk (hope that makes sense - probably needs a diagram! š).
I'm probably leaning towards spending on the test at the moment. If I go with that, I'll start on the tamoxifen assuming that if it says low effect, no chemo, if it says high or grey zone, I'll go chemo. For me, it's probably easier to go into it with that decision made rather than facing another grey zone recommendation and still trying to decide.
