Thanks Becky!!

Thanks Becky for clarifying all this for us. My onc. did tell me that being ER+/PR+ ( and highly for both) was good, and I knew the Tamox. was good for me, I never really totally understood the entire concept until you laid it out for me.

Your explanations on this issue and others are greatly appreciated by me Becky, and I am sure by many others here.

all the best
Caya
