    This means that your cancer is ER positive (strongly positive for ER) and PR positive (although you are weakly positive for PR). This means that your cancer has estrogen and progesterone receptors and will likely be responsive to anti-hormone therapy (such as Tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors).
