You are right - there are not many statistics for ER negative tumors. These ER receptors really present two different pictures, don't they? Its like two different diseases. From what I could find out, the first two years are the most treacherous. If we ER negative people get through the first two years without recurrence, and then can get to five years without recurrence, the statistics balance out to be the same for ER negative as for ER positive tumors (early stage - other pathologic variables not stated). If someone else has better information, it would be great to know. There is a dearth of information for ER negative patients! So, based on what I could find, it seems to be you are doing fantastically well! Congratulations! My diagnosis is similar to yours, though I am relatively new, so that bit of info brings hope to me, thanks a lot!

er/pr-, her2 +
Hi there,
I was diagnosed in May '06, have finished chemo, about to begin rads, started Herceptin with chemo. Still kind of early, but will keep you informed as time goes on. Thanks for starting this thread- it is very hard to find stats for er -. I have been wondering the same thing myself.
