Prognosis

It appears from this article that ER status is not necessary which is promising - since the Oncotype DX test is currently being used for those who are ER+

I am eager to hear more about early bc dx and the understanding that one size does not fit all. One can be a grade 1 and have a high score of their cancer.

Each day we get closer.. hopes of early detection and the best possible treatment for each patient based on their needs.

For anyone interested in reading the research paper behind the article, I posted it here on Tuesday: http://her2support.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=49652&referrerid=1173

Being that I am not a fan of collectivist/statistical/one size fits all cancer treatment, I agree wholeheartedly, Jean.

I'd rather be anecdotally alive than statistically dead.
