@sirene as I said, Breast Cancer Index has since changed their labelling of risk, because patients were not happy. Their cut off at the time was in the 4's. 5.7% was basically the same as my Oncotype risk of 6%.
I absolutely did not do chemo with such a low Oncotype. The Oncotype tells us whether it will benefit us and for me, that was a no.
One oncologist gave me the choice on chemo. The other two relied on a tumour board that had an absolute no.
I don't think about cancer too much at this point though I know I won't be surprised if it spreads eventually. People are living for years with metastasis and I would hope to be one of them.
