Oncotype DX test

Hi all you ladies, have any of you had the Oncotype DX test ? I had 2 breast cancer operations, 1 on 22nd Sept and 1 on 10th October. I've still not had the results of my Oncotype test, it's now been over 3 months. I've been chasing it up every week but still no results and nobody seems to know when i will know to continue with the next stage of treatment. How long did you all have to wait for results if you had this test ?

I'm getting quite anxious and worried.

    i was told at my appointment it can take up to 3 week's maximum, the sample has to get to California however you can ask your oncologist to look on the portal as it shows if it's arrived there safely ect 

    I completely understand the 2 week wait for me was the worst time ever I struggled at that time massively .

    have you signed the forms for it or was it a discussion that they are going to do it ?

    Hi Barkell, it took about 3 weeks for results to come back

    Hi Barkell,

    Mine took about 3 weeks too. Over three months seems a very long time, as you need to know the results before you proceed with treatment. Why not phone your consultant's secretary and ask whether or not they are back, or when she expects them. Be sure to explain how long you've been waiting and ask when you are likely to receive them.

    Hopefully, this will get things moving.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,

    Jolamine xx
