Hello, I’m new here. I’m 5 weeks post diep flap surgery for lobular BC with tumour sent for oncotype testing. I have a phone call appointment for results and wondering has anyone had oncotype results over the phone which resulted in chemo treatment? Trying to second guess if phone call consultations are common practice or could it mean score is low so need to for in person appointment due to chemo not being needed?? 

  • Hi, I received my onco test results from my breast care nurse over the phone and was advised I would be offered chemo, I’ve now completed 8 rounds chemo snd 10 radiotherapy and I’m looking forward to normality if that’s a thing lol wishing you well on your journey

  • I asked for my results over phone when I was speaking to bcn but was told she did not know score only that it was low. I met consultant briefly before my op and he told me that unless anything came up on tests after surgery that I would not benefit from chemo. Seems every consultant works differently even when at same hospital.

  • My BC nurse rang me with my score as she  knew I was worried. It was 5-so thankfully I didnt need chemo.  It's the only result I have been given over the phone tho
