I had this also it lasted for a while if I’m honest and like you I did panick but it did go back to normal after a little while it didn’t happen overnight 

how did you get on after with oncology about the chemo ? 
love Lara xx 

I asked the nurse and she said I don’t qualify. But when I see my surgeon next week I will mention it. Then when I’m booked in for an appointment with my oncologist I will mention again. As I want it done before I start anything :) x

Hi Kirsty,

Mention this orange peel effect, when you go back for your surgery on 30th and see what they say.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx

Will do hun. Thank you xx

The qualify has changed last year or so so definitely ask oncologist these are better in that field x 

Hello hun. Not got my results from second surgery till next week now. But spoke to breast nurse and she said I probs won’t qualify for the onco test. Because my age/size of tumor etc. she said the 10 year survival rate for me with just surgery is 68% with hormonal treatment also 6.5% and with chemo on top 7.5%. So will just have to wait for meeting. Obviously I can say no to chemo just don’t know what to do now x

Hello hun that’s a terrible Shane they won’t do Oncotype DX some boards give it and others are hard work they are quite costly I think it was about £3,250 but I offered to pay cause I was desperate to get it but my insurance paid it for me after

i can’t understand how chemo is only 1% they put you through that for 1 % 

I was told that also but Oncotype came back low 

it had to be your decision  though lovely you have to do what you think is best for you .

hsve you seen your oncologist yet ? I found they had a different view to the consultant.

No haven’t seen the oncologist yet hun still waiting to go get results from consultant after this op. But I want the test. Will keep fighting for it. As a lot of women my age have not had chemo. Some have and regretted it x
