Becky, like you said the more ER+ you are the better the hormonal therapy will work. That is why I correlate my 16% with only a 16% improvement or response to therapy. I would correlate yours as a better chance for DFS and a 50% improvement over no hormonal therapy. This is only MY uneducated estimate.
