And I thought I was the only person that had happened to! I even had my original biopsy redone at Vanderbilt in late 2004 when the pathology showed as being so rare (according to that asco site earlier, only .6% of all cancers) and it came back the same. I had it re-tested (original tumor, not core biopsy) at KU Med and it came back as negative on both, and they retested it twice. Three years of hormonal therapy for nothing.

Get retested .

Sorry, probably getting OT. My gut is that triple positives overall will have a slower time to recurrance than her2-/er&pr+, but faster than hormone positive only, but I don't have any data to back that up wtih.
