You are exactly correct. He did say that. I read your question as asking of he got the estrogen positive criteria incorrect and he did get that criteria correct. Just added am assumption of his own that 'most people who have a lumpectomy also have radiation so the test must also assume that.' Or so I guess. But when I told that client service reps told me times he assumed incorrectly, his answer was 'well they don't know what they're talking about.' Even after I pointed out that one of them was the most senior manager, to whose office the president's office transferred me. The arrogance of the onco was inappropriate. One would think that the onco would at least double-check his facts with Oncotype unless his ego prevents that. As I note, the breast surgeon (who is the head of the whole breast cancer operation at this world-renowned institution) was dismayed and asked for a copy of Oncotype's letter for her files.as well. And thanked me for bringing it to her attention. I can only hope that other patients get the correct information going forward.

No I was commenting on the doc's idea that radiation was presumed by the Oncotype. Lots of us have mastectomies with no radiation, and the Oncotype is used for us. Strange.
