That's too bad they won't do the Oncotype score for you even being early stage. Hope you plan to have 5 days of radiation for the lymph nodes at least. The RSClin is an additional calculator developed by the same company that created the Oncotype score, which is standard of care now for about 20 years. The RSClin is for provider use only, so we can't access it. After getting a Onctotype score, the provider uses RSClin to further add your age, tumor size, and grade to identify your risk of reoccurance. If your provider wouldn't do an Oncotype, than the RSClin would not be available to you either. The company that developed these tools is Science Direct, the same folks who developed Cologuard. Quite a progressive company.
I'm just about to start by 5 days of radiation, then I'm done, and will start AIs as I'm menopausal, then it will be surveillance. You will need to push to have contrast mammographys or Breast MRIs.....just keep reading and advocating for yourself. I hope you had further treatment like radiation for your nodes. In my case, they wouldn't test my nodes because imaging showed them clear, and given I had a lumpectomy, they told me the radiation would catch any floater cells in the area or nodes....While I can appreciate 'less is best' with invasive procedures, like node biopsy, I would have liked to at least have had an MRI on my nodes but didn't have time to do so before surgery.
Hi just wondering is you were treated at MSK? Will you have partial or whole radiation?
