However, I would like to add...
Her2+ women who are also hormone positive relapse less (overall) than those who are hormone negative. The natural progression of the two diseases could be slightly different (with perhaps a blip after hormone therapy is completed) but we just don't really know for sure because Her2s weren't separated out of that hormone positive data. However, it would make sense that the blip is stronger for those who are only hormone positive (but not Her2) because they tend to be very, very strongly positive for ER and PR whereas Her2s who are also hormone positive tend to not be as hormone positive.
It is ALWAYS good to be hormone positive.
Kind regards
Becky
