Today’s The Day – Oggi e’ il giorno

I got the OncotypeDX score: 14. The clinical trial coordinator at Kaiser who called to tell me was all excited for the good news. A score of 14 makes chances of recurrence within 10 years quite low at about 8.9%. However, this score doesn’t help me decide whether to do chemotherapy or not. It would have been a score that would’ve put me in the randomizing arm of the tailorX trial I applied to be a part of (and was rejected). So, I’ll see what Dr. Faith has to say today when I see her. For all my complaining about waiting, now I wish I had a day or so more to discern what’s the best for me.
Oggi vedo la mia oncologa. Il risultato del test Oncotype e’ 14, il che vuol dire che le possibilita’ che il cancro riappaia nel raggio di 10 anni sono dell’8,9%. Non male, eh? Pero’ il punteggio non mi aiuta a decidere se fare o no la chemio. Oggi vedro’ la mia oncologa e ne parleremo insieme. Con tutte le lamentele che ho fatto perche’ mi facevano aspettare, adesso quasi quasi vorrei avere ancora un giorno per decidere….
