I had my cancer in 2020 so that is likely the answer as to why I wasn't offered it. I was originally offered chemo but I insisted on getting the Mammaprint test as well in addition to Oncotype and my mammaprint was low risk. Given my stage, size, grade and mammaprint results, 8 doctors then said no chemo and reversed their recommendation. My Oncotype was a 29. Then I also did the RSCLIN model a year or so later and it showed very low risk as well. So I will never know if I made the right decision about not having chemo but I can say the Oncotype was the outlier which is why I paid for the Mammaprint test to see if that genomic test was more in line with my clinical tumor characteristics.
