Is anyone waiting for oncotype testing results? I had tests 18 days ago and I was told it would be 10 days for the results. The wait is agonising. I can’t plan anything and it feels like life is completely on hold. 

Just thought there might be a lab delay and we might all be in it together? 

  • Hi

    If its any help I was told 2 weeks in July but it was exactly 21 days ! So I think it should be any day now ! X

  • Thank you. That is reassuring. 

    Can I ask, did you follow the science and do what the score suggested? I’m concerned that if I end up with a score of early 20s I’ll be concerned at not doing chemo now in case of regrets in later years! 

  • I also waited 3 weeks fir my results back in November.  My score was 31, I was strongly advised to have chemo as it has a high risk of returning anywhere in the body. They said the chemo would mop up any cells lying about..so it made sense to have the chemo, now I know I've done what I can to keep the dreaded disease away. I have a little 7 year old so I want to be around as long as possible..Good luck and I hope you get word soon..fingers crossed your score is low..xx

  • Thank you. Good to know that three weeks seems to be the norm. I also have kids )ranging from 10-17) so very conscious of being there for them and the impact all of this is having on them. 

  • Hi, I had a mastectomy 3 weeks ago and been told I need the test I got told my results would be in 2 weeks, 

  • The wait is awful, mine took 3 weeks. My score was 23 so no chemo advised by oncoligist but owing to large tumour size, and the high risk of a reacurrance, I am no taking abemaciclib for 2 years, along with anastrozole & Zoldronic acid infusions.

    It's a tricky road to navigate for sure
