At this point, I am not going to get the Pten test only because I will finish my year of Herceptin in mid June (although my onc wants to continue until September which covers my first 2 yrs since diagnosis and keeps me on the Herceptin/Arimidex combo for one full year).
I thought about testing my tumor (because I could rationalize - why stay on longer than the year if I don't have Pten. Also, I would worry more than maybe I would even need to. What I mean by that is that, prior to adjuvant Herceptin, most Her2+ women did okay and did not recur. So...)
I was just wondering if anyone found research that correlates other indicators to each other.
Also, does anyone diffinitively know if you test positive for a hormone receptor - is positive positive. What I mean is that my PR is "less than 5%" on my pathology report. I have read alot about this type of reading and some research says anything under 5% is negative and other research says that anything positive is positive.
Those of you who are ER/PR negative - did your pathology reports actually say negative?
I am hoping my PR - less than 5% is at least a bit positive. My onc - who is good says its something but would be considered negative if push came to shove.
Best regards
Becky
