If you can, I would strongly encourage you to look into alternative testing options. My MO told me about a new test called Ataraxis Breast that apparently is over 50% more accurate than Oncotype and even more accurate than RSClin. Oncotype has been a standard of care for 20 years but it also means that the technology used to develop it is very outdated... especially if you are younger, or if you have Oncotype scores that are not clearly low or clearly high. And RSClin is confusing too because it can contradict Oncotype results and it has not been validated as much as Oncotype itself. Ataraxis test already has the clinical and tumor biology data taken into consideration. The only problem is that it is so new it hasn't been yet recognized by guidelines but if you have a progressive MO they should be able to get this result to you.

Smileykoala, you have piqued my interest with Ataraxis Breast. I'd really like to know more about recurrence possibilities (I have had Oncotype done) and neither Ataraxis nor RSCLin were ever mentioned to me. How would you go about enquiring about these if you were me? I'm sure my oncologist is tired of me pushing her to the cutting edge of things, but I would love to know everything that's knowable. If that makes sense.
