how did they know that taxol would only help about 1%...did you have oncotype dx test? Why would my onc not give me that test of the fish test? i asked him about both but he said with my her2+++ and grade 3 it wouldn't change his tx plan. should i insist? also how does everyone feel about preventitive scans? i have only had a mug scan.
