"My opinion....because 90% or so of Her2+ BC patients are Er/Pr negative,"
This statement surprises me, because I asked my onc yesterday specifically about the statistics of hormonal status of her2+. He stated that about 50% of her2+ were er+.
Does anyone have any additional information concerning this statistic?
Statistically speaking, I feel that her2+ women have to be divided into two categories. Those who were diagnosed and treated according to protocols prior to the trials released from ASCO in May, and those who have been and are being diagnosed and treated according to those trials. Previously her2+ was not tested for nor specifically treated until late stage. Testing is now done as standard procedure and early stage is treated with much apparent success.
I am a numbers person, so I do look at statistics, but I am not number or a statistic, I am me.
Statistics are numbers that can give you some idea of how others in your situation have fared. Just be sure you are looking at the right 'numbers' or statistics that apply to you. Then remember---you are not a number or a statistic. You are an individual.
