"My Oncotype score was also 8, so no chemo. And my risk at 9-10 year recurrence is 10%.:"
I've seen the results of seversl OncotypeDX tests and I've never seen a result where the risk of recurrence is higher than the Recurrence Score. Are you sure that you're not conflating the Recurrence Score (which is a number) with the Risk of Recurrence, which is followed by the % sign on the report (and assumes one takes anti-hormone therapy)? If you are noting the correct numbers, could this be because two different tumors were tested?
As an example my Recurrence Score was 9 but "risk of loco-regionsl recurrence....9 years" was 3%.
Buy they really should use less similar names for the two results as the majority of customers' calls are about the confusing terminology.
My doc didn't know about the BCI three years ago but it is now NCCN approved. I had to bring it to my doc and tell them about it 🙂
