Hi Janelle

I'm borderline HR-positive and don't get any Tamoxifen as adjuvant treatment. I asked several opinions of different Finnish oncologists but all were from that point of view that Tamoxifen would do me more harm than profit. My receptor status was ER 15%, PR 15,5%. I am strongly HER2-positive and was diagnosed at age 42. I still get my periods regularly and it seems that I will be on this way for many, many years.
