I have read that Ki67 can vary with the phase of the menstrual cycle and since you are so young, it is possible that that was an artificially elevated value ie, that if your surgery was done a few days later it might have been much lower.
Nice thought!

Don't really know what to say about the PR positivity--only what you have already commented on--that from my reading it is rare so probably not much is known about it (BIG HELP, THAT!)

If I find something helpful in the literature, I will pass it on.
