Anonymous · July 2015

ER 100%, PR 90%.

I am interested in data too - it makes me feel more educated about this whole experience.

Beckers · July 2015

>95% E/PR +

Nancy2581 · July 2015

I see a lot of you have high PR. Mine is 58% - which I know is still considered strong, but I wonder if it makes any difference.

Nancy, I've read that the percentage doesn't really make a difference but if you're concerned about it please talk with your MO and don't quit asking questions until you're satisfied in your own mind. You might ask about the question of whether you metabolize tamoxifen well, too, if you haven't already.

I JUST got my results - I am ER 97% and PR 92%. I'm also HER2 Borderline, so it is being tested some other way.

I really am clueless on this. Does this mean that I will likely have to have hormone therapy after I have my mastectomy? Will this affect my reconstruction potentially?

Also, does this have any affect on recurrance? What about in my other "non cancer" breast. Would you be concerned about that breast now?

FYI - I do have a call in to my breast advocate, but am waiting for her to call me back. This just drives me crazy until I get at least some idea of what this really means!

Thanks!

ER+ 100%, PR+ 100%, HER2neg

MusicLover · July 2015

Mine were either both 90% or both 95%.

There is a new feature on our BCO profile where we can record this but currently it does not display with our dx and tx's. I wonder what the mods are doing with this data.

Janett2014 · July 2015

ER 87%

PR 95%

Her2 neg.

Englishmummy · July 2015

tshire · July 2015

ER 98% PR 83%

Suladog · July 2015

I'm 95% ER+ 20% PR+ and HER2+

calidancer · August 2015

er +25, pr +10, they didn't test HER2

I'm concerned with the low numbers. Seems closer to negative... And MO still wants me on Tamoxifen for 10 years. Seems positive is positive.

farmerlucy · August 2015

I think mine was low nineties ER, around 85% PR. Never thought I'd forget that info. Guess that's a good sign!!

crazystupidbreastcancer · August 2015

I had multi-centric breast cancer (cancer in more than one quadrant) in my right breast. The IDC tumor was 85% ER+ and 40% PR+. The DCIS tumor was 100% ER+ and PR -.

Nancy2581 · August 2015

thanks all - I do know that responding to therapy isn't determined by higher percentages, but for some reason I still wonder about that.

susan_02143 · August 2015

>5% ER, >5% PR, HER2-. Hormone therapy has worked well for me. Any positive is a positive.

*susan*

Nancy2581 · August 2015

Good to know Susan thanks

BC2015 · August 2015

+ 90% ER / + 90% P, HER -

MagicalBean · August 2015

95-100% ER and PR positive.

Lharry · August 2015

What exactly does it mean to be ER and PR positive anyway? I thought it meant that the estrogen and progesterone that my body normally produces causes my cancer to grow. But today my doctor said that being positive is actually a good thing. I thought it was a bad thing to be +.

debiann · August 2015

He may mean that it is a good thing because there are more treatment options available when you are ER+.

I think ER+ may have a better prognosis than ER-.

For those of you ER+ and PR+
