Try not to stress about the oncotype test. Ask your doctor about the ki67 number. My breast surgeon told me yesterday that it's a poor man's oncotype test!
If you do have a choice about chemo, try thinking about how you'll feel further down the track. Will overtreatment or undertreatment sit more comfortably with you as a risk? Do your due diligence so that you can't look back and torture yourself once you've made your decision. Life's hard enough to live without throwing regrets into the mix. It sounds like neither decision is wrong or right at this stage. Try to choose the one that is right for you and you alone.
Be kind and gentle with yourself. It's a dreadful time but it will pass. Hang in there. K xox
