I got the call back from the surgeon's office today that my Oncotype dx score came back a 4. This means they are not reccommending chemo for me. If the number was high they would have reccommended chemo. This really is no surprise, but good to know any way. Just on a side note because someone asked me recently, the difference between chemo and radiation is chemo is a systemic treatment. That means that chemo treats the whole system--your body. Radiation is a local treatment. It treats one specific area ie. the breast, the liver, etc. etc. I am still waiting on my genetic testing results to come back within the next month.
