Oncotype DX result came back

I received the results after 3 weeks and it was clear that although grade 3, E/P+ HERs - k value high 50+ the absolute chemo benefit was a score of less than 1; risk of recurrence 4%, and recurrence result of less than 25 (14). 
Even though the oncology board suggested chemo as likely as a preventative, the test which is very expensive came back with a clear result.

    Hi @Monibear like Cath62. We threw everything's at my cancer though i only had the Braca2 test. Later Cant remember many other numbers because pre surgery i was grade 2 and suspect lymph glands. Due to post surgery results radiation x 25 I did progress to bone mets it just took 2 years to raise its ugly head. Not everyone progresses there are a lot on here that are still clear after 5 and 10 years. my prognosis is good I’ll probably die from something else. As long as the meds keep working and i can put up with the side effects. 
    Best of luck as you make your way through all this.

    Glad it has helped you.  4 percent reoccurance is too high in my book but we have to be satisfied with our approaches to this.

    I took the chemo path as high ki factor and grade 3, er and pr+ and herc2 - and still ended up with metastatic disease but I know I did all I wanted to kick cancers are and I still am. 

    Best wishes for your future.
