I tallied them through tonight (10 p.m. CST) and had 26 responses, of which only 8 were ER+/PR+ or a combo. Which means 70% of us are Er/Pr- and 30% are positive on one or both.
When I discussed this with my onc this afternoon he was not surprised. He said that women in their 30s are 30-40% ER/PR+ and 80% of women in their 60s are ER/PR+. Has to do with premenopausal vs. postmenopausal. He also said that her2's are associated with higher hormone negativity, and also with those younger in age. I guess the combo of all of that is why those of us who are younger have worse prognoses. Anyway, I thought it was interesting. Learned a lot today. Thanks for participating!
