Hey everybody,
Back from the onc visit...Here's the update. I am going to have my first chemo treatment on Tuesday, Sept 5th at 12:45 pm. I feel good about this treatment route. Next will be herceptin and tomoxofin. Inquired about the oncotype test, and was given the same info that Panicked 911 posted in her thread. Based on the her 2 + and the ER+ PR+ the test results will be "skewed", and show a "High" range result no matter what. The outcome of this test would not change my choice for treatment, and therefore would not benefit me personally. My next big decision will be made after the results of genetic testing which I will have done on Sept 25th. The results will take 28 days to get, but if I do posess the gene, I will likely opt for the mastecomy as well as removal of my ovaries. Have any of you all had the genetic testing done? Just wondering??? I also stopped at a salon and made an appointment to look at wigs tomorrow. OH BOY !! I do have long hair, and plan to donate it to locks for love. I am going to find that phone number tomorrow, unless one of you happens to have a 1-800 number. Tomorrow morning I am going to have my first MUGA test...and some blood work. Thanks for all the help & info
Love to all of you
Susan V
