Hi
I've recently been given my Onco result of 68 so have been told that I would benefit from chemo. But it's going to be at least 4 weeks until I get to see an oncologist to find it what I'm likely to be facing. Has anyone on here had a similar result because it looks like this is quite high....
I had an oncotype score of 28 (as you’re probably aware 25 or below is the desired score to avoid chemo). They told me it was advisable to go down the chemo route, but it was up to me, as it was borderline. I don’t understand the “curve” from 25 to 100 as it must mean something 
, but not sure what! Anyway, I opted to go with chemo as I was already on the rollercoaster! I was prescribed 6 cycles, which is quite standard I believe; I managed the first three quite well, in fact very well (EC), but the fourth was Docetaxil and it knocked me for six! So I decided to stop after 4. They offered me reduced dosage, weekly paclitaxel or revert back to EC. But I’d already made up my mind. They said that the ones I’d had were beneficial and would likely reduce my chances of reoccurrence. I followed up with radiotherapy after that and am now finished. Forgot to say, I’d had a left mastectomy prior to all that. So I would suggest that chemo would be your best option with a score of 68, I know we’re all different, but I think the fear of chemo is worse than the actual thing. As my onco said; give it a go, you can always stop or change the prescription. Just go for it and you’ll know you’ve done all you can. The weird thing about this bugger is, we know we can sort it now, it’s the future problems we need to avoid. Best of luck, grit your teeth and go for everything you can cope with. You’ll do it, so many of us have. Best of luck, lots of love xxxxx
