Er Negative and "Hormonal????"

Greetings to all, My oncologist mentioned retesting my lung met from 2006 and 2008 biopsies to see about adding a hormonal, as he put it, into my regimen of tykerb and herceptin. I am confused as I thought hormones were only for er positive tumors; however, he indicated that the test are more refined now. I will have another muga and see him in 2 weeks. Are there other hormones the tests may show? Or can er negative tumors have some er positive aspects? I would appreciate your thoughts. Ceesun
