Duck and cover

Called the nurse first thing today and left a message. She got back to me later this morning.

The oncotype came back a 29; this translates to a 19% reoccurrence rate. My doctor believes I would benefit from chemo. It would drop that number by 1/3. It's an "intermediate" number which is not as clear as a low or a high. But it's a high intermediate.. 31 is considered high. [this on a 1-100 scale]

It was a difficult morning. I immediately locked my keys in my car. Wound up a bit wobbly emotionally which I didn't expect. Had a lot of stuff I wanted to get done and really I just didn't feel --- ok.

Guess I had my hopes up. Did some reading tonight. I'll do more and talk more this coming week. They tentatively scheduled me to start October 11...

I'm just not sure. One minute I am. Then I'm not.

Bad day. Duck and cover I say.
