Waiting for the Oncotype results to come in but was wondering - do they give a score in "years" like CancerMath online tool? For instance to need chemo how many "years" benefit would it have to have for the risk benefit ratio on the Oncotype . I am 65 and plugged in numbers on Cancermath and for my case there was a substantial difference in years if I checked chemo versus someone at age 45. Does anyone have any info to guide me on this until I get the actual results? My stress level is through the roof at this point I understand that ANY days advantage is worthwhile but my doctors were saying that there is a certain cutoff where the risks of chemo outweigh any benefit it might provide Very confused about what the Onco actually means.
