Thank you. I have not yet received my ONCO type results. My Oncologist recommends routinely prescribed Adjuvant therapy. But, I fear the side effects would be too great. I’m waiting for my Genomic testing and consult. 🤗

Hi, I’ve been following your commentary and am waiting to see how your ONCO type will effect your treatment. I, too have just had my surgery (2 days ago) for cancer incising and am waiting also.
I am not very excited about Adjuvant meds, as I have a small body frame and osteopenia. Praying you can get results soon and a plan of treatment. Keep us posted. Blessings!

Ellie, I hope your OncotypeDX is encouraging. My oncologist also routinely recommends adjuvant anti-hormone therapy but was OK with my skipping it because he thought I was at very low risk if recurrence and the Oncotype genomic analysis suggested the same thing.

I had my first annual post-lumpectomy mammo, ultrasound and oncologist's physical exam and all seems well.
