Me -ER +/PR-, Her 2+++
Mom - ER+/PR+, Her2 neg
Aunt 1 - was not hormone positive but Her2 not done then
Aunt 2 - was on tamoxifen so must have been hormone positive but Her2 not done then
Cousin - ER+/PR-, Her2 neg
Sister - dcis only but highly hormone positive - did not run Her2 on dcis

Aunt 1 and Aunt 2 never got tested. Mom and Sister were BRCA and Bart tested negative. I only was BRCA negative tested - want to do BART to be sure. Cousin was BRCA tested negative. Cousin, sister, mom and me all started out with non-existant Vitamin D levels.

Aunt 1 died from the disease. Aunt 2 died from old age (87). Everybody else is alive and kickin'
