Re: HRT and ER-, PR-, Her2+ BC
I was also told that if you are ER/PR negative that there is no need to stop HRT. In my case I had bilateral BC and one side was ER/PR negative and the other side was ER positive (DCIS). I thought that I would need to take tamoxifin but since I had a complete hysterectomy and bilateral mastectomy, my onc said that I didn't need to take tamoxifin.
I'm not sure how old you are but perhaps your onc considered the benefits of HRT vs. the risk and thought it best that you continue on HRT? It would certainly be something that I'd have further discussions with your onc about. You need to understand the reasoning for the decision and be comfortable with it.
Take Care,
Brenda
