Hi Effie

Whilst I can't offer any advice, I can completely understand how you're feeling. I'm 45 and was diagnosed in August with a very similar type except I had one positive node. I'm due to get my Oncotype score in a few days and last week I felt really hopeful but have now convinced myself it will either come back incredibly high or borderline and give me a quandary. 

I have to keep telling myself that having more information is better and can help tailor treatment. Good luck with the Oncologist. I'm sure they will be able to give you more detail behind the score that may help how you're feeling.

Take care 

Hi Tiggy, thanks for the reply.

still awaiting my appoitment. Will phone the hospital Monday. I've waited nearly 5 weeks since lumpectomy and sentinal nodes removed. 
Would like to get the ball rolling and wishing Easter 2022 comes round quickly.

((presume chemo takes 18weeks and then maybe 3weeks radio. Should be on the mend by Easter))

Hi Tiggy, how's things 

My oncologist said I would definitely benefit from chemo and she didn't even offer me anything other than chemo. 
Was surprised as clear margins. Node negative. and thought oncotype of 22 was kinda borderline 

however I'm getting four lots of TC chemo starting next week.

Hi Efffie

My Oncotype came back as 28 and have just started my first round of EC. Bit of a shock but just trying to get on with it. Like you, I'm seeing Easter 2022 as hopefully being the finish line! 
I think because we're in our 40's they really want to see a super low Oncotype score before they recommend no chemo.

Thanks for replying to my thread. Good luck with everything.  I'm here if you want to compare notes xxx

Hi again,

i just want my chemo journey to start. Diagnosed with cancer August 10th so feels like it's dragging on. Abs waiting forever. (Will be over 13 weeks ) 
 My chemo oncologist is on holiday this week so my first dose is the 11th November
