  • Oh my we ARE different on this one. I'm approx 90% ER receptive, 50% PR receptive, and her2/neu positive with a score of 3+ (the maximum score). It will be interesting to trade notes as we go through treatment to see how this impacts our treatment...

  • This is only the biopsy so I don't get a real percentage, I just get this > 10%. 10% seems to be a threshold. 4-6 days and I will have the full story.

    I want to know, and I am scared to know.
