Oncotype DX ...study
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/146743.php
Sidebar: While we Her2 ladies know and realize that the score for us has a higer percentage of being higher.....
For those newly dx. who are concerned about receiving chemo/herceptin (if they cannot have herceptin alone)
they may wish to consider this test to assist them in making treatment decisions.
This test for me back in 05/06 was the only way to have the onc. in New York pay attention to the fact that however small my tiny tumor was - (size does not matter) the gene makeup is what a women must have knowledge of.
Hope this helps.
