Hi Pippy, I'm not too sure but this is what I think has happened: After your surgery, the tissue removed would have been sent to pathology for testing which can take two weeks or more. They now want to do the oncotype DX test. Have a look at this link and especially the third point, which I think explains it well

Hope this helps and I wish you well. I'm having surgery this Thursday, having completed 7 cycles of chemo. 

Take care and do come back if you have any questions or concerns. We're all here to help and support each other xx

this also happened to me I waited 6 weeks to see my oncologist then I asked for oncotype which was another wait I can see your point why don't they do it immediately after surgery 

however I was happy with Oncotype score and no chemo required .

goid luck love Lara ️

Hiya,

I'm 6 weeks post mastectomy on Friday.

I'm waiting for my Onco result and should find out my result on Thursday.

It will be 3 weeks since my follow up where they suggested it was sent off to California where they test it. That was my decision when asked if I wanted a lymph node clearance I opted to get the test.

I'm assuming based on my call on Thursday they will refer me to the treatment department and I'll start treatment soon after maybe a couple of weeks.

It is a bit of a odd time as you feel OK but can't really plan anything and don't know what to expect from your treatment.

Hope your results go well.

it's a nightmare waiting but the Oncotype is a very good test I think when you get result yard no where you are going it will be worth the wait I do understand as you can't plan anything I spent that time buying wigs getting my brows microbladed ect then it was a waste of money scire was low no chemo required 

I wish you the best lest us no how you get on 

love Lara ️
