Got my gene test back that tells me if chemo will help or not. [View all]

There were 3 possible answers: ( this is a gene test for breast cancer)

1.. treatment benefits are very likely to outweigh risks of chemo side effects

2.. chemo side effects are very likely to outweigh treatment benefits

3.It’s unclear whether the benefits of chemotherapy outweigh the risks of side effects.

and damned if I did not get the 3rd result, leaving me with no clear answer.

In fact, the results said studies show that chemo and hormone treatment would result in a 13% chance of cancer recurrence
while hormone treatment alone would result in a 16% chance.

3% difference.

and no time left to dither, it has been 60 days since mastectomy ( they got all the known cancer)

So, long afternoon and evening of discussing with Mr. dixie, weighing pros and cons of our personal situation, etc.
