Your onc probably did not pursue on hormonal therapy initially only becase you are weakly ER+, maybe?? What is your ER+ status?
Every onc has a different perspective on the status of ER/PR. Late this summer, I went to a 2nd opinion about my recurrence, and this onc even suggested that I get off Faslodex, because he think hormonals are not working effectively enough (in my case, that is), and I should add another chemo to Herceptin. I am 40% ER+, 20% PR+.
I think that my primary onc believes in trying hormonals first before adding a new set of chemo guns (for ER/PR+ cancers, that is).
Confusing, huh? Agh!
