Hi I had this test last November it came back with scores needing  Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy this was after 2 Lumpectomy’s 

 Very specific to your needs

Hi June. I had this test via my NHS treatment. It isn’t offered everywhere. I was all geared up for chemo, had my appointments all lined up when the results arrived. Unexpectedly I may add as the trust changed their criteria for doing it and I was one of the  first. 
My result was 13 so my oncologist said she could not refer me for chemo as it would do more harm than good.

Thanks Rachel, I hope I get a similar result to you xx

Thanks Denise, I had mastectomy last week xx

The results can take between 3-4 weeks x

Hi June

I had this test in July 2021...my score was 30 so Oncologist told me I needed both Chemo and Radio...commenced chemo in September and radio in December...now I'm on tablets. If your score is below 20 I don't think you need chemo. Hope this helps.x

Thank you so much for your response; test sent yesterday to USA, just the wait now xx

I had the test too as on the fence re chemo. I was offered test to help decide if neede chemo.  Score came back as 11 so just had radiotherapy. Both oncologist said chemo would in my case do more harm than good. We do and it was hard trusting the experts xx

Hi Gwills I was all prepared for chemo,  had my appointments for portocath, heart scan, wig fitting etc organised when my Oncotype DX results arrived. Neither I or my oncologist were expecting them. My score was 13 and my oncologist said she couldn’t ethically give me chemo as it would do more harm than good. Started immediately on Letrozole and just about to have radiotherapy.
