I'm glad you understand your results. I still am waiting for my explanation. I have an appointment on May 4th with the oncologist to learn how to interpret the results. I might end up calling back for the explanation. It stated my avg was 5% change of getting another cancer in xxx years?
Using my own tissue it said numbers are 0- 100 I am a 2, then it said If i took AI , then I have a 3% chance of getting another cancer. I told the home town nurse what I thought it meant, and was told I was wrong. I asked what it meant then? She could not tell me and couldn't I wait until my May 4th appointment. While at the C. C. they tried to explain without explaining bec it is to be my oncologist who tells me and not my radiation DR. At this point I am thinking of changing oncologist, but it would be so much better than traveling 1 1/2 hrs a way. I do not understand why it has to be so confusing. I did take some gene test, but do not understand them either. It said my STAT1 is defective. ??? Lots of love and May God Be with you in this journey.

I travel 7.5 hours to Mayo because that is where every staff member I encountered treated me with respect and compassion. Totally worth the time and expense to me to feel like I am being listened to and cared for.
