Thank you.
Not sure what it means that I am 15% low positive and progesterone negative.
I guess when surgeon refers me to an oncologist I will find out if estrogen blockers would help me.

Not a health professional but my “understanding” is any amount ER+ is a candidate for hormone treatment. If HER2 + there is a monoclonal antibody as well. You will understand your treatment protocol very soon. Ask a lot of questions so you understand the WHY? of your treatment.

It’s bewildering how many “subtypes” of Breast Cancer there are. We each gave our own particular path on this unwanted journey.

Best to you and come back with questions ( and answers 😀) !
