Prayer-
Yep, I received opinions from 2 oncs regarding this and they both agreed that 5% positive is better than zero and therefore Tamoxifen is better than nothing. It decreases my recurrance rates by 3% or 4% (very few percentage points), but when I see my statistical survival rate at 82%; those 3 or 4 extra points make ME feel better. By the way, one onc is at UPenn in Philadelphia and the other one is in Orlando Fl. Neither one was aware of the other's opinion.

Keep in mind that when we see ER positive statistics, it is not broken down into groups. If you are ER 5% positive, then you are ER positive!
