Another point of consideration in making the decision and timing is that the OncotypeDX test score will indicate whether chemotherapy is advisable for the early stage ER+Her2- invasive breast cancer. Chemo is ususally given before radiation. My MO waited for my score before referring me to the radiology oncologist. It would seem understandable that you would want that test score before scheduling radiation therapy.
