Be careful what you pray for....
I have been on the fence about what follow up treatment I should be taking and have been told everything from chemo to nothing needed. So I decided to take the OncoTypeDx test and prayed it would be a sign...
Today got the results: 36, high risk. So suddenly, from being NED, I am being advised to begin Chemo, THC for 4 to 6 doses followed by Herceptin. My head is spinning! Any thoughts would be appreciated. Wht has been your experiences on this combo??
Better update my profile.....
