Have any of you had the oncotype dx with a reuslt in the mid-range and chosen not to receive chemotherapy?
My score was 21 and I chose not to do chemo. Only radiation. However nodes and margins were all clear and my tumor was only 1/2cm in size. I am on tamoxifan now for 10 years.
My husband keeps reminding how sure I was of this decision at the time because I do now sometimes wonder if I did the right thing. I guess only time will tell.
Thank you.
I am struggling to decide chemo or no chemo.
I appreciate all the feedback.
No second opinion, my family physician agreed with him. Change oncologist after two yrs he agreed with the first one. I'm off arimedex after five yrs, six yrs cancer free so far.
I had 3 small tumors in rt breast pre cancer in left, radiation, arimidex for 1o yrs bilateral masectomy , did reconstruction after 3 yrs score was 23 did not do chemo, I will try to stay on amimidex as long as I can, My joints & sleep are suffering but I will stand strong as long as I can
@A MyBCTeam Member I guess I wasn't clear. I wish it was 10 years with no reoccurrence. What I was trying to say is now I have to take Tamoxifan for the next 10 years.
I was just diagnosed this past February so I am at the start of this journey.
