Oncotype test - do you have to agree with it?

Hi All,

I had breast cancer 3 years ago and had the Oncotype test. It came back low so I didn't need chemotherapy YEAH! But then last month it came back in the "removed" boob, I now have to wait for the test again but I'm not sure I want to rely on the test that was so obviously wrong last time. Do I have to agree or can I refuse to wait for it?

  • Hiya i havent had a recurrence of my breast cancer i was diagnosed last march had 3 lumpectomys and mastectomy i had micromets to lymph nodes so was told chemo now was possible and because they cudnt get clear margins from the lumpectomys but then they did the onco dx test and it came back low so chemo was ruled out i have to say i was bit anxious still am sometimes that my treatment was just a heap of operations and tamoxifen but if my cancer was to recur there is no way id except another onco dx test i know the doctors and surgeons who treat us are miracle workers really but i would definitely want different treatment 2nd time round not another onco dx good luck with whatever treatment you get sorry u have to go thru all this again xxx
