I had the same experience: Loved my surgeon, was pronounced cancer-free, thought I was done except for maybe targeted radiation, then had the oncotype-chemo piano dropped on my head. It took me 6 weeks to recover from the upset. Even now my reports say, "No disease evident." I think I'll pass on targeted radiation if recommended. What is there to target? Also, my doctors seemed baffled by my shock and upset. A brief mention in a mountain of pamphlets does not cut it.
