Thanks Lani for responding to Amanda's questions as I was also struggling to understand.
Just to clarify her 2 tumours regardless of their hormone receptor status are a distinct subset that before vit h had the worst prognosis? How does this fit in with thoughts that her 2 +and ER+ have a better prognosis than her2+ and ER- ? Have I just got this mixed up?
Thanks Ellie
