Sherry, they mean how "aggressive" the cancer is. Usually, but not always, HEr2 neg Hormone positive cancer is grade 1. Most people I know with Her2 pos are grade 3, like myself. I don't know if it has alot to do with prognosis anymore. Probably is one is Her2 neg and Hormone pos it might. It has been around and tested for along time, unlike Her2 testing
