Dear John

Although I am not on HRT (as I am mildly ER positive as well), on the ASCO site in the last few months, there has been a tremendous amount of data in regard to breast cancer risk while on HRT or birth control pills, especially in women who are lean.

There was also a paper (quite a bit back) that eluded to the fact that Her2+ disease that is ER/PR negative MIGHT begin by the body being in a hyper estrogen state (perhaps during the perimenopausal period with HRT or during pregnancy). Mind you, the article was not a clinical trial or anything.

I am sure there are others who are more knowledgeble than me (especially those on HRT).

Kindest regards

Becky
