Hi there,

I was diagnosed at 28 years old and had an oncotype score of 13. I was scheduled to do 6 rounds of chemo but my oncologist lowered it to 4 rounds after my results. He did say that with such a low score usually I wouldn't have received chemo at all but because I only 28 years old he felt better if I did chemo.

I was estrogen positive and grade 2 tumor. Two tumors were found in my left breast with the distance between them I only had the option of a mastectomy and later had a mastectomy on my other side as well.

I was 40 when diagnosed with a 20 score. I got a Mammaprint as a second opinion and it said 'low risk' so no chemo for me. The TailorX study is now showing that even younger women can safely skip chemo if lower than a 25 score. I'm glad I didn't do chemo, I'm saving it for if/when BC ever comes back. With that, I'm on Tamoxifen for 10 years. I'm 3.5 years in.

Oncotype =20, ER 95%, PR 5%, ki67= 30%, Mammoprint = Low, Blueprint = Luminal A!!!! TEs= Iron Bra of Death - not worth all the complications for foobs that I'll never feel. Flat and fealess now.

I was 31 at dx and my Oncotype was 0. I think (at least at the time) that my Onc had never seen that before. I also had Mammaprint, which came back at low risk.

My Oncotype was 32. I did do chemo.

If it looks like you need to do chemo, ask your MO about possibly adding ovarian suppression during chemo - it helps protect your ovaries, but also might help chemo to be more effective because the cancer is not being simultaneously fed by estrogen.

Best wishes to you. It's a hard situation at any age, but especially when we are supposed to be in our "prime."

Diagnosed at 32. Local recurrences one year later, probably due to needle seeding at inital biopsy. Now dealing with MBC.

Mine score was 19 (12% risk of recurrence with or without chemo). Did chemo for my age (36), size & grade of tumor plus one positive lymph node. Hope you get a low score. I was 90% ER and 90% PR plus grade 3

Hi! Do you know of anyone with a high oncotype score? Mine just came back and it is 66 (?!?!). I feel like that has to be a mistake?

I have a similar diagnosis-grade 3, ER/PR+, Her 2- and am 43. I have nodal involvement and my team actually put me on neo-adjuvant chemo therapy and in a clinical trial (adding in immunotherapy or placebo) because the high grade makes it both higher risk and more responsive to chemo. I just got my last dose of chemo and don’t regret my decision

Pooja, what are your percentages of ER,PR.? If they are low, maybe you are closer to triple negative?

Hi PoojaMG,

We are sorry you find yourself here, but glad you found this community.

The numbers can be difficult to understand. Here is a something we've written that may help make more sense of it: Oncotype DX: Genomic Test to inform breast cancer treatment. What is your treatment team suggesting for you?

Thinking of all of you! Keep us posted!
