    That's great news! And I'm not surprised. Your age and the fact that your cancer is grade 1 are both favorable factors that would reduce your recurrence risk, as reflected in the Oncotype RSPC score. Each factor alone might not make a huge difference but when combined, it means you look very different than the average patient on whom the Oncotype score is based.

    Isn't it mindblowing that MOs don't automatically run the model for patients who have more than one factor that is significantly off the average, such as age (younger or older), tumor size (small or large) or grade (1 or 3)?
