My onc is something else...
There was another thread on this board on the topic of KI-67. A couple of us mentioned we don't have a KI-67 any where on our path reports. I called the lab that ran my path report and the women there looked me up and informed me that my Her2 and FISH was ran there, but the KI-67 was a seperate test and that was not ran on me. So I was going to ask my onc about this...and see why it wasn't ran?
(Side note.) I was suppose of of gotten to see Dr. Slamon but that never happened as she promised. So I told my onc how I never had my KI-67 done and was curious why it wasn't ran?
She says to me had I went to Dr. Slamon I would of found out straight from the pioneer himself that the Ki-67 isn't important. I forget her exact words but she let me know he would of blown it off, its not something he would even bother to use. I told her that's not true because I know too many women that have seen Dr. Slamon and they all had their KI-67 ran. She shut right up and changed the subject. I couldn't believe she used him as an example of how the KI-67 is so un-important. If its so worthless...why do just about all the women here have it on their path reports?
