If she is referring to the Oncotype, it's possible that ALL Her2 tumors will test high risk. Johns Hopkins Ask an Expert describes the Oncotype DX as a test for node-neg stage 1 tumors that are NOT Her2+. I bet that no Her2+ tumor has ever tested other than high risk, though I don't have the data to prove it.
