Thanks for your comment. I'm not familiar with oncotype scoring so that is another thing I can look up. I'm glad if you're not having to go through chemo unnecessarily. I assume your lymph nodes were clear of cancer cells?

Oh, I see that the breast recurrence scoring is only used with hormone positive cancers. Still a great tool, even if it can't be used for me. Thanks again.

Thank you. Yes, I had clear lymph nodes. The oncotype is a test that they do on your tumor after surgery that can determine whether chemo will help or not, and your chance of recurrence. That also helps to determine whether or not you need chemo. @mkb4435
