@kathysway It could take possibly up to 2 weeks for a study like that. I never had the onco score - I had requested it, but oncologist advised since I would be undergoing chemo, I wouldn't need it. My second tumor pathology took about 2 weeks as it required special staining and several pathologists reading it and then questioning it. It was quite a trying period awaiting results, but what I've learned since having my two cancer diagnoses is to try to have patience. Use your energy instead to be kind to yourself, take naps, go outside and enjoy nature. There's a book I was given by Gina Mulligan, entitled "Dear Friend." It's been just a year since I was diagnosed with my first tumor and I have still not finished it - the book is letters from people who have had cancer or friends of people. When I am down, it gives me hope. Hang in there.

Your oncologist advised against it!!??? That is the determining test to see if you really NEED chemo!!! If test score is low, no chemo needed........unless you had special case.
