Oncotype score

Hi, I had a score of 5 back in the summer (i was 64) and didnt need chemo x

Hello, sorry to hear about your mum’s diagnosis. I had IDC grade 2, ER / PR + and HER2 negative, and a score of 19 in my largest tumour and didn’t need chemo. I had 1 lymph node positive for cancer in both axillary and inter mammary chain. 

Thank-you

Thank-you so much

Hello! I had IDC hormone pos, her 2 negative, grade 2. I had Double masectomy as cancer found in both breasts and had 1 node positive on one side. I then had a full auxiliary node clearance and luckily all 16 nodes were negative. I then had oncotype test and had a score of 0 for left tumour and 6 for right so oncology team did not recommend chemo. I am now on letrozole for 5 years and managing ok apart from flushes and some aches. I am 55 years old. 

there is light at the end of the tunnel..waiting for oncotype test results was hard but I wish your mum all the very best. 

Thank-you! It’s the worst part waiting & worrying.

Confused as the original biopsy was grade 3, but after surgery it was grade 2.

its been 5 weeks waiting since pathology results, jst want to get on with the treatment now. Hopefully after the oncotype results, treatment can start.

Hopefully the recurrence risk is low and your mum may be able to avoid chemo? I think a score of less than 25 in post menopausal women can often indicate that risk of chemo doesn’t warrant that treatment. Wishing you well
