Oncotype Score of 47

Myopiawmn

I just heard back from my oncologist about the results of my oncotype score, which is 47.  I already went through all the fun stuff such as surgery, chemo and radiation so it's not going to impact any current decisions but I'm wondering what this means.  I don't have an appointment with my doctor for another 5 months, at which point I'm sure he will go over the results in detail.  Does anyone know what % the rate dropped by having chemo?

Thanks!

I just realized this posted under "lymphodema" for some reason.  Oh well, hopefully someone will see it

Not sure on the exact numbers; but that score means that you were very, very smart to do chemo. Plus grade 3 cells are the ones the are most easily killed by chemo.....so chemo has really upped your odds of being OK!
