What kind of Chinese herbal tea are you taking? I got an Oncotype 16 too but 2 oncologists recommended I do chemo because I had a grade 3 tumor. And just finished 20 rounds of radiation. Feeling like I did too much. I just had the CYP2D6 test done and found out I’m an intermediate metabolizer. Not sure where this puts me as I start hormone therapy

@brighterdays I had grade 3 as well and Oncotype of 8. Tumor board and 3 docs said no chemo. I also had lymphovascular invasion (lymph as far as I know). I wonder if the ER/PR scores are the reason for the chemo suggestion, or if you are much younger than me. I did letrozolo for 5 years- now 8 1/2 years out.
