Push for the ancotype. My ancotype was done with my very first biopsy and my summer was only 1.8 cm very very tiny. They did every single test they suppose to. The oncotype will give you the % of the effectiveness of chemo will be in your particular cancer. Also the % of the likelihood for reoccurrance.

Thanks. I think @angiemal mentioned that they don’t test if they are less than 5mm, which is what my onco said as well. Mine is 2mm, so very little. My onco said even if we try to submit it it will get kicked out of eligibility.
I’ll continue researching as well.

My ILC tumor was only a 1.2 cm size and the Oncotype test was done without me asking. Based on that information, I have ruled out chemo as well as AI. I am doing the Fast forward radiation of 5 days only since I only need to worry about local recurrence not distant.
