I don't believe that's true. I'll try to find the research. My onc said they're usually inversely related, which means if you're her2, you're more likely to be hormone negative, and vice versa. Hormone positivity is correlated with age (in your 30s, only about 30% are ER/PR+, vs. in your 70s it's like 80%) but I don't think that relationship exists with her2. Which would lead me to believe there is no correlation :) ! We should do a survey.
