Does Greater PR percentage mean anything?

Hi All, I was diagnosed with hormone positive, ER+ at 93% and PR positive at 91%. I've been reading Dr. Kristi Funk's book "Breasts, an Owner's Manual", and in it, she alludes to the fact that the greater the PR percentage is, the less aggressive the cancer. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Good question. I'd like to know more.

I wish she had gone into it a little more

Yoy may have more info since you have a book, but the way I understand it is, highly ER/PR+ cells respond well to treatment and there are many hormone blocking options available. I haven't read anything myself that said they are, on their own, less aggressive in general. If that is true however, I would love to know for sure. I am 95% both ER/PR+, so I'd be thrilled to know those are a less aggressive form.
