Hi Becky,
I am 55 and had my uterus removed 10 years ago due to fibroids and my ovaries/fallopian tubes removed because of a benign cyst just this Feb. 08. That was before I found out about the breast ca in Aug of this year. So I am in menopause -altho I never got hot flashes until a few years ago. After the ooph my body went nuts but I think it's settling down to life without ovaries. I still get hot flashes several times a week, more if I'm under stress, like now.
I am 'weakly positive' for ER - and PR neg -anyone here who has been placed on Tamoxifen or something else who is also not a strong ER positive?
Is that a poorer prognosis, being weakly ER positive?
I will ask my doc about the Tamoxifen metabolizer when I see her Tues. I think right now she is concerned about getting me started on chemo; hopefully the Taxotere or some other drug in that family will work for me this time.
Thanks for your reply, Becky. I learn so much on this forum.
