I think this is very interesting, because I thought Her2+ oncotype scores were always high. Obviously it's not so.

I had a tiny tumor (.5 centimeter) with no lymph nodes. My oncotype score was 32, which gave me a 22.5% chance of reccurrence. I had expected a lower score. My tumor was grade 3 -- cells were changing fast. Maybe that had something to do with it.
