100% ER+ 100% PR+ HERS2- How common is the 100% diagnosis?

You are fortunate to have that 100%, I would think. It might make the tamoxifen that much more effective. Your cancer is responsive to hormones and therefore to anti-hormone therapy.
Did you have a very low Oncotype as a result?
I had a grade 3 cancer with high ki67% and lymphovascular invasion but since my ER was 95% I did not need chemo. My Oncotype was low and so was my recurrence risk with hormonal therapy. I am 8 years out.
Your ER and PR should be very good things for you. What was your Oncotype score and risk of recurrence?

The Breast Clinic Team Member did say 100% would mean Tamoxifen would be more effective...but it still makes me wonder about cutting back on foods with hormones since my receptors are 100%.
My Oncotype is 14 and my Ki-67 is 1% so no chemo or radiation (I also had a double mastectomy). I'm not sure what that means for risk of recurrence as I am premenopausal, although Tamoxifen is probably throwing me into menopause as periods have been irregular since stating that.
I wish there was more research available on diet and cancer recurrence. I want to do what I can to reduce my risks while still living life without too much worry about this.
