Update: Met with my Medical oncologist and her resident yesterday - really lovely humans and felt so much better after my 90 minute consultation. We've decided to do the oncotype DX - fits my current results.
I was so dispirited to find that I'm in the 'grey area'. Red flags: 2 mets (1 micro and 1 macro) in the 2 nodes they removed, lymphovascular invasion and they can't do more surgery given where the tumour was.

I realise that I now need to wait again (!) but my anxiety is so much better given i realise where we'll go with either result. Gosh, rollercoaster is right.
