Hello lovely 

the Oncotype test is a test where they send your tumour to America to assess reoccurrence scores , sometimes oncology use this to determine if chemo is going to be beneficial to you , I requested the oncotyoe test myself but thankfully my score was low and chemo was not required in my case it would have done more harm than good xx 

You certainly have a say in your treatment but you need as many facts as possible to make your decision.

I have recently had a double mastectomy and removal of 21 lymph nodes and just opted to pay $5,000 (Australian) for an oncotype DX Breast Test done in US which I should receive results in 2 weeks. At the moment my prognosis based on type, grade, size of multiple large tumors, minimal lymph involvement etc  is 80% and only a 1% chance of chemo improving prognosis. This extra test will give more accurate figures but very expensive. Of importance is that my cancer type is extremely sensitive to hormones so hormone suppressant therapy is by far a better option. 

Just be sure you know all the facts when making your decision as you don't want to have chemo when it may not help. Good luck. x
