Hi Terri

I don't think there is a better ER/PR combo than Ruth has, so that's really good.

At diagnosis in 2002 I got Dr. John Lee's books, and have read many others. I too have a high PR (95%), but I tend to see the use of progesterone and other hormones for me more along the lines of what Hope said -- that probably the most effective management will be lifelong periodic testing and lifelong balancing of any supplementation.

Even if saying this is repetitive, I think what we need most is to have an endocrinologist sitting on each one of our tumor boards, and to get their impression at least once a year for the rest of our life to see what newer info they have.
