I was diagnosed with ER"SLIGHTLY positive", PR negative, and HER2 positive by ICH&FISH. By a modified Scarf-Bloom-Richardson grade, I was rated III/III, 3 ,3, 2. with lymphovascular invasion noted & tumor mass was 4.0 cm x 2.6cm x 2.2 cm mass.
My tumor revealed an infiltrating, poorly differentiated ductal carcinoma with the above info( SC-BL-RICH.)grade III III, 3, 3, 2.
My Micrl. diagnosis also state it was a Multifocal High Grade Intraductal carcinom with focal Lymphovascular invasion and tumor extending to within 1mm of each the inferior, deep, and superior Margins.
6 accompanying lymph nodes demonstrated 3 of the 6 with metastatic carcinoma wih 2 showing macrometastases of 5 and 15 mm.
The surgeon who performed the radical Masc., wrote down I was ER POSITVE-SLIGHTLY-- (?), PR -, and HER2=3+.
MY "?" is : should I be taking an ER blocker with the Herceptin?? I've been thru all major chemos, & rad. Now on the year of Hercep. How is one slightly ER positive?
