Angel,

The phrase that stuck with me was,

" . . . the massive overtreatment of the majority of breast cancer patients is currently well accepted in the scientific community."

IMO, it should NOT be "well accepted" in the bc survivor community. There is no excuse for "throwing the book" at something blindly, if only one page will work. If this is the test that tells you what footnote in that tome will benefit you, let's get the test as SOP. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't trade one painful procedure for even a short course of chemo if the procedure demonstrated the chemo was not necessary.
