Hi Steph,

You said above that , "You all have me very confused. Let me see if I understand: statistically are you saying that HER2+ER-PR- relapses long term less than HER2+ER+PR- breast cancers? Or is it the other way around?"

I will try to clarify your question for you. We do not have long term data on her2 relapse beyond five years from any prospective studies yet. However, we do know the relapse history bc relapse based on hormonal status. From this data, we know that hormonal negatives usually relapse more in the first five years or relapse less after five years than hormonal positives.

Hope this helps. Also, hope your back pain is nothing serious. Take care.
