Has anyone faced a borderline oncotype score for breast cancer treatment?

It is so hard when you are given a choice! I had a similar situation and I ended up getting 2 second opinions. All 3 oncologists leaned in the same direction of no chemo so that is ultimately the route I went but I’d be lying if I said I don’t

Was there lymphovascular involvement? Spread of cancer cells to my lymph nodes and grade 3 made me aim for more aggressive treatments.

I am so nervous to get my score. Had a lumpectomy and at my follow up was told about this test and possible chemo, first time I heard this. Have the same cancer almost 55, 6mm tumor and no node involvement so I’m hoping the oncodx score comes back low. If not I may get second opinion

I had a 24 Oncotype score It depends on other factors Including Tumor size-grade My oncologist used a calculation to determine that I needed chemo- I went for a second opinion and they confirmed that it was my best option.
