Oncotype DX - great help
Hi - I was diagnosed in February 2014 and had surgery in March. The tumour was removed - 14mm with clear margins; but the dyes did not track to a sentinel node so the surgeon took a sample of nodes. ...

similiar results with grade 2 20mm with one lymph node er pos, pr pos and her2 neg; chemotherapy was not recommended by my oncologist; although the 3 oncologists who consulted right after breast surgery all said 'chemotherapy ' needed. I find it interesting how there is also ground swell of 'fact' which one lymph node means you have to have chemotherapy
pleased that some oncologists are not going on 'automatic' mode and weighing up risks and benefits. would love to see the costs for this test brought down as it really is a barrier and if you think of the emotional/employment/ emergency health costs etc of chemotherapy then that would be in its favour. best wishes
