Thanks for the article Lani. It is very interesting about how they determined hormone positive as being at 1% or greater. My onco (especially my new one who is great) considered me PR negative because my pathology report is less than 5% but greater than 3% (does this mean 4%??? haha). In my own research, I found in some literature stating anything less than 5% is negative and in other literature, anything less than 10% is negative so.... I considered myself negative. Who knows?? I do have some PR though (even if it is alittle) but my ER is 50%.

Anyway, great article.

Secondly, I saw that you joined. I am glad as I wouldn't want to not have any more contributions by you. Now if we can just get RB to join too my life would be perfect (I'm very easy).

Warm regards,

Becky
