Justin & I went to see my oncologist. He wants to do a oncotype test on my cancer. Here is what that is

Basically it will tell the doctor if I will benefit from chemotherapy. The thing I don't get is that I don't meet the criteria for the test (I'm not Stage I or II or node-negative) I'm Stage IIIa.

We also talked about my possible chemo cocktail. There are a lot of different chooses.
So what does this all mean! Well I'm waiting again! It takes 2 weeks to complete the test!
I think I'm going to get a second opinion! I want to make sure I'm getting the right treatment.
