Oncotype DX Test

Hi, Just wanted to add to this older post if I may.  I live in Northern NSW and had the Oncotype DX test done back in January 2009.  It was very expensive as the Aussie dollar was down to 62c to the American dollar and we paid $5,800.  My oncologist originally advised me to have chemo "just in case" but my wonderful surgeon told me about this test and we went ahead and sent a tumour sample over to the USA.  My result was a 6 which indicated no benefit from chemo for my particular breast cancer diagnosis.  My Onc on seeing the results advised against chemo and said "it was money well spent".  I must say though that we were fortunate to have some money set aside (we were going to renovate the bathroom before I was diagnosed) and I would think that offering everyone who qualified for this test the possibility could possibly cause despair and frustration due to the cost and no Medicare rebate or private health care insurance cover.  I am extremely grateful for having it available for my decision making.  Big hugs.
