Anyone else blindsided by oncotype testing?

Hi! I just came from my oncologist routine visit, after the surgery and he told me that I might need to have chemo and radiation, as well. But I have to wait for those results from Oncotype. I was in shock since my breast surgeon told me that we the pathologist results from the surgery I didn't have to have no more treatments, but the oncologist told me something else. So, I have to wait now for those Oncotype results and see the outcome. But as of right now, I feel very sad! I understand your feeling.

That also happened to me. My Surgeon told me I had clear margins and no more tissue needed to be taken out after my lumpectomy and when I went to my Oncology appointment, he strongly recommended I have more taken out. So I went for my 3rd surgery in 2 months. But I did switch surgeons for my last one.
It’s definitely frustrating when you are told one thing from one doc and then are blindsided when meeting with another doc.

I might have missed this, but was your Oncotype test for DCIS? Or an invasive cancer?
