If you have daughters or know of a prior familial history of cancer then you might find it to be beneficial, Carm RN.

It doesn't hurt to get an Oncotype done. It offers a projection into the future of the chances your cancer will reoccur. It can be a tie-breaker when there's a doubt. (There's a question of whether your insurance will cover it.) Sometimes your oncologist can tell whether you need chemo without this test by your other results-you always however, have the option of getting a 2nd opinion from another oncologist anyway and this your insurance company will definitely cover!!

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I figure a positive attitude is crucial. My wigs are mostly for fun and are largely "costume" wigs. I finished my last day of chemo today and the chemo nurses all told me how much they will miss seeing me weekly because I made them smile--and that, of course, made me feel terrific. How is your chemo going?
