Got the oncotype tests back. It's basically a genetic/DNA workup of the tumor to figure out what comes next. The oncotype score was a 10, which is very good. What it basically means is that the cancer has a 10-15% reoccurrence rate, which is pretty low. It likely means that radiation treatments won't be needed. They'll do an analysis to determine if chemo is needed. It's right on the edge between chemo or no chemo simply because the added risks involved with chemo may create a reoccurrence rate that is the same or greater than doing nothing. We'll likely get two different opinions on it just to make sure. But overall, really good news.
