Which tumor gets oncotype testing?

Which tumor gets oncotype testing?

I am 51 years old, post-menopausal. Pathology report following right-mastectomy indicates 2 tumors; .8cm invasive ductal and 1.5cm invasive lobular.  Both stage 1 and grade 1.  Both are estrogen + and Her 2 negative.  No nodes involved.  My surgeon sent for oncotype DX testing.  I believe only the lobular invasive was sent off for testing.  Is this because it was larger?  Should both have been sent off?

Also, how common to have both IDC and ILC in same breast at same time?
