Hi everyone, just had a lumpectomy and I’m told it was sent off for testing now I’m reading a few forums I didn’t realise there were so many types! I knew there was estrogen based and perhaps a test that it was genetic.

Nobody in my family has breast cancer that I know of, I’m wanting to look into fertility options. Should I be prepared, is there more bad news on the way? I just read someone was a carrier does this mean they can pass it on to their child? I already have a child! Really getting worried for the results and what they are going to say.

Forgive my ignorance on not knowing the different types or stages. I want to push ahead with fertility treatment no matter what the results are but all the information I’m reading is scaring me about goibg ahead with it. My Dr doesn’t fully understand the longing for another baby I’m worried I may be talked out if the fertility option!

Thanks for your time, T x

Hi Tracey,have you had a sample sent for the Oncotype DX test If so It is by no means certain you will need chemo you must be borderline to have the test in the first place and if you do need chemo you will be offered options re fertility .Let us know how you get on.Jill.

I don’t think so but the Dr said I would need it with me being young and mentioned it from the start. Hoping fertility will be considered if it’s safe to do so. Thanks will do :slight_smile: x
