Hi Rhonda-
I am only ER+ 10% and PR-
Even with my low ER+ status, it has never been sufficiently positive to get on Tamoxifen nor will it be sufficient for Arimidex. My onc believes a higher ER+ would warrant hormonals and AI's but with mine so low, the benefits are barely worth it.
I also know that many oncs state that the tamox and Arimidex can't hurt even if one is totally ER- PR-... but common sense just says that if you know it won't help then why take it ?
So, to answer your question, being ER-/PR- keeps you off any additional drugs...
My period came back 2 yrs after chemo and with a vengeance ! I was scared I had other abnormal issues going on and went to get a vaginal ultrasound, a endometrial biopsy (ouch) and nothing was wrong. I am back to having regular periods and I am fine with it. It tells me that my body has recovered ... and it seems, my dear, so has yours !
Maria
