I was getting ready to see what to print and present to my doctor, and then I realized that these test are for one species of cancer, ER-positive. Mine is (or was) HER2-positive. According to what I read, there are basically three types, the third being triple negative. So, that's that. The article does mention other tests that can predict a recurrence in the future of my type, which is good.

Still, thanks again for this very good information, dixiegrrrrl.
