My Onc. said I was not a candidate though the test is for earlier stage breast cancers. They test your original samples from dx and give a percentage of recurrence rate that helps you decide if you need to go the extra 5 years on estrogen inhibitors Just curious if any one has had it and what the outcome was?

Just thought I would bump this thread up because of 0 responses. Does anyone know why this wouldn't be a test you would take? Thank you in advance :)

My onc mentioned this test too. I said I wouldn't do it. There is comfort in thinking that the Tamox is keeping me safe and I don't want to know otherwise. I would happily stay on it forever.

I was off the Richter scale for a recurrence. That was over 11 years ago, and I am blessedly well. Doctors and stats are not all telling......
