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

Posted by janisbrede @janisbrede, May 2, 2023

When I went to Mayo for a second opinion they saw my initial diagnosis of 100%ER+ 100%PR+ and said that would probably change when they did their evaluation but it came back 100% ER and PR+ as well. Does this mean I am extremely sensitive to hormones? Anyone else 100%...seems drastic to me, not in a good way. I'm worried I should be a little more cautious with what I put in body to try to reduce hormones although I am on Tamoxifen to block hormone receptors. I just don't fully grasp how this is all connected.

@janisbrede
My journey started July 2020 with 43% HR positive. So I did everything I could to reduce the estrogen positive from food to lotions. In March 2023, the Dr agreed to a unilateral mastectomy. When the tumor was examined, I was no longer HR positive which stunned my oncologist. From 2020 til now, I have cut out animal products (an egg and Salmon occasionally) because animals produce estrogen. I even stopped using Tupperware and candles because they are estrogen driven. I now use glass storage containers, burn essential oils, use plant based lotions, shampoos, laundry detergent, makeup, pots and pans without the harmful chemicals, you name it, if there is a plant based version, I use that. Do a Google search on estrogen driven food/products. Cancer is 5% hereditary and 90-95% environmental. Good luck with your journey.

I have been making small changes with my diet/environment. I have stopped the bottled water and switched out most of my Tupperware for glass (its a process!) and now I would like to purchase new pots/pans. Would you mind making a recommendation based on your research please? Thank you in advance for your consideration!

Yes, small changes, that's what I did. I've tried a few pots and pans but I have found I like Waxonware. It cooks good, cleans up nice. Pic attached. When it came to a stock pot, I got a stainless steel but I'm just noticing Waxonware now has one. I didn't buy the set but pieces here and there and wished I would of seen the set because it's less expensive than piecemeal. Also look at pic with water bottle numbers that can be found on bottom of plastic water bottles on which ones are safe and BPA free, #2, 4 and 5 are the safest. Also attached is a list of pots and pans to get and avoid. Hope this helps!
