Have you had the surgery? Many oncologists send the surgical tissue for the ONCOTYPE rather than biopsy tissue. This is common.
Edit: upon re reading I see you have had the surgery. I’m not a medical professional but my understanding is that ONCOTYPE can only be done on ER-PR + HER2 negative tumors. Please double check and don’t rely on my research . Your Oncologist should be able to review this with you and tell you if Letrizole was somehow involved . If not move on to another oncologist if possible.
