Maybe you could share this information on a new thread about oncotype testing. Maybe this current thread about using oncotype to decide on treatment could be expanded with all of this information.

Have you taken Ibrance and letrozole combo or another combo for metastatic breast cancer? What challenges have you had from this drug combination?

Chris, there are a lot of posts about the gene testing, the OncotypeDX being the most frequent one for estrogen-positive breast cancer. And there are misconceptions about it that are still out there, including among doctors according to an article I cited, with URL, on a thread. If a moderator can move those to a separate thread, the information would be in one place for anyone wanting to understand why the test is used and how to interpret the results when it is.
