Kat and Chelee;

It is my understanding that even a "slightly" positive ER reading benefits from hormone blockers. If you are post menopausal it would be something like arimidex. There are numerous postings on the problems with tamoxifen and her2+ ER+ tumors so you might want to do a search to understand the issues before seeing your onc....and what overall action you would want to take. BUT, yes, this is another weapon you can use to fight this awful disease so it makes sense to use it.
