Dear Steph C

I looked at your profile so I could give additional advice but it does not list how ER or PR positive you are (for example, I am 50%ER but PR neg). Are you strongly ER+ and PR+ (I am considered moderately ER+). Anyway, it makes a difference (somewhat). Also, how long will you be on Herceptin therapy (when does it end for you). This way, I can tell you about some studies etc that can help you with questions for your oncologist.

Have a great day
