Clinical vs Genomic

Has anyone had a high clinical risk but very low genomic? My mammoprint says no benefit from chemo and I've already had one cycle of a.c. and was extremely neutropenic and lost most of my hair today. Waiting on more tests from Sloan. Everything I've read says genomic is accurate and much of clinical is based on interpretation from pathologist( ki67 etc...) my reoccurance rate with tamoxifen is less than 3 percent. 10 percent with no treatment at all. I'm so conflicted. My head is spinning!!

    I so understand your conflict. My oncotype was very low, but the ki-67 was high at 22%, and the grade was 2. Now is the time to get as many questions answered as possible. I always wanted to get a second opinion on the pathology but I was too scared to ask. (duh) I would not hesitate to have your slides sent to a top notch institution I think Johns Hopkins does it for less than $500.
