Surgery June 11th, waited for oncotyping forever... (4 weeks) oncotyping of 14 and was told I didn't require chemo. Will start 15 proton radiation treatments starting Tuesday, July 27th. I brought up the pet scan to my medical oncologist and he said that studies show it hurt people's quality of life because they were living from pet scan to pet scan. I think that at least if I had one, I would have peace of mind 5 out of 6 months! I'm going to be worrying about recurrence whether I have the test or not, so let me have the scan for my peace!
