    Sorry you have had to join this "club" Blueorange. Hope the attached links help with some of the info you need.

    These boards are a wealth of information and support. Ask questions. There is always someone willing to help.

    PR+, ER+ and HER2 Negative are usually quite "favourable" as far as a BC diagnosis and treatment goes.

    I wish you well on your journey.

    Yeah Smurfette,

    I was told I was ER+ PR+ and HER2-. I was told this a few weeks back. I of course had no clue what this meant but my doc said, 'well this is very good as it gives us more tools to use against it'. I now know what he was referring to was Tamoxifen. I think also I read somewhere that the prognosis of not having a recurrence is a wee bit better in ER and PR + people. I am not sure where I found this, but it was on some sort of prognosis site.

    You will be amazed how much you will learn in next few weeks just from being on this site.
