I just was diagnosed with both lobular and ductal .
One is estrogen the other triple negative . I’m seeking second opinion wondering what is onco test used for and you think I should ask for this too? Dr wants me on estrogen pill asap . But I await second opinion before I decide.

The Oncotype would only be for the estrogen positive cancer. It tells you whether chemo is needed, and how much your risk is reduced by taking meds that eliminate estrogen in your body. Maybe your doctor wants you to take the anti-estrogen pill before surgery to see if it shrinks the tumor-? Or have you had surgery?
