Has anyone had a LOW oncotype with the ER + 100%, Pr- 0% and Her2-??

Oncotype results…. I am 38, pre menapausal, BRCA negative, no family history of breast cancer.

    I'm ER+ 95% PR- 0%, HER2 low (+1), post-menopausal, BRCA negative. My mother and maternal aunt had bc. They were both diagnosed post-menopausal. I had genetic testing done, and I don't have any mutations. I had DCIS and LCIS, 26 years ago in the same breast.

    I had both the Oncotype DX and Endopredict. They both indicated I needed to have chemo. This is probably not what you want to hear. It came as a surprise to me, but it was probably for the best since I had that positive node.

    I am waiting for Oncotype scores. It will be interesting. My tumor was 2.4 cm, I am 68 and had a SMX. Er and Pr +, Her2 low. Grade 2. my oncologist thinks it is 50/50 it will indicate chemo, possibly a short chemo duration. My margins were very clear and my nodes were all negative. I hope no chemo. I take care of a husband with lymphoma and a 90 year old mother in law with a mind like a child. Fingers crossed. I had DCIS 16 years ago, so doc thinks this is a new cancer, not a recurrence. There is so much science now to breast cancer! Hope everyone is doing well.

    I had a low Oncotype with Er+, Pr-, Her2-. It was 17. So as a postmenopausal woman, I didn't need chemo. I'm almost 3 years since surgery and doing fine.

    Lnw9616, a low oncotype is in your favor. It suggests that your estrogen receptors are working and treatment with hormone therapy would be beneficial. Sounds like you have a good medical team. You've got this!

    I Had low score as well and 10 years of therapy after my treatment and so far ok. Still checked regularly though. Did not have to do chemo or rads since needed a mastectomy since my tumor was so big in there they could not get it with lump and tried to get more even with one more. Then had to the mastectomy and saved me form the rest so figured even though harder to get over better overall really. Best wishes to you and taking that little pill is not hard to deal with the side effects i you ask me from the cancer. That is what I kept telling myelf with the aches and pains and hot flashes.
