Estrogen Receptor : Percentage of tumor cells with nuclear positivity 81-90%. Allred score - 8/8.
Progesterone Receptor: Percentage of tumor cells with nuclear positivity 51-60%. Allred score - 7/8.
Her2neu: Negative.

Please discuss triple negative breast cancer for someone age 69 and the survival rate.

Madam
In core needle biopsy, the pr status is positive and in surgical specimen negative. Kindly advise which report is accurate and correct and what to do.

What food to avoid when ur breast cancer was ER PR positive and her2 negative. I am done with chemo surgery and radiations. It’s just finished. I want to focus on safe food. Any suggestions pls 🙏

[judybee]

My biopsy showed Er weak positive and pr negative. Her2 negative. Since lumpectomy the pathology on the tumor said Er, Pr, her2 all negative. How can 4 sites on biopsy stain er +, but the excised tumor shows er-. ? I thought we had a treatment course all plotted out but now I'm totally lost as to what we will be doing. Triple negative is quite different than er positive treatment wise. ☹️😢

​ @Yerbba – Breast Cancer Apologies, for asking, just I am feeling a little unsure and scared. I am living in a Foreign Country and about to start treatments after lumpectomy.

I was just looking through your questions and saw you answered a question that sounded similar to my questions.

I found the lump on Dec. 22nd which turned out to be HER2 HR+ and PR+ with a 2.2cm tumor, I had a lumpectomy which confirmed the findings, and six lymph nodes were removed one confirmed... I don't know, I am in a foreign country and am not fluent.

Does this sound reasonable to you?
1. Lumpectomy - Check
2. Six Sessions of Chemo with Trastuzumab - starts June 9th
3. Six Sessions of Radiotherapy
4. Six Sessions of Trastuzumab
5. Five Years of treatment you mentioned

high mam im er-pr+her2- is considered tripple negative or not

[boaty]

I was told that my breast cancer was 2% estrogen receptor positive but I want to have another baby. Will I likely have to take tamoxifen for such a low positive? TIA

[missMarie]

Whats the meaning of er pr negative score 0

[tisaykuno]

Hi iam stage 4 breast cance I have ER + PR+ and her2-.

[gaurikris]

What about er allred score 4 .pr score 3 .her 2 was negative.this was a lobular cancer. It was mentioned er focal weak positive and pr weak positive
.since for lobular is this rare because usually er most ppl have high estrogen but in this case the allred score is low.is this considered like triple neg. Neo adjuvant chemo did not have any effect on the tumour it remained same size

[indiancitizen]

Mine is ER negative/ PR negative/ Her 2 negative....I am going through Chemo before surgery...I am 46 years old

[varad]

Hi, my mother is ER positive allred score 8. PR positive allred score 7. Her2 positive 2.60 sigmal strength. Would trastuzumab and pertuzumab added to chemotherapy for 6 cycle benefit her.

Thank you so much for your video, learned a lot! I am now 46 years old and diagnosed with multifocal micro-invasive cancer with high-grade DCIS, (pT1mi(m)pN0(sn)), ER-negative, PR positive 5%, HER2 positive, left mastectomy, no chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. May I ask if a PR positive 5% benefit is only 5%, considering the side effects, especially the stroke (my mother died of a stroke), is it worth taking it for 5 years? Does not eating increase the risk of relapse? Does HER2-positive require treatment? Hope you can give some advice, thanks a lot!

[gdwitch]

What if you have ER positive PR negative HER2 negative? No one ever mentions this type. Is this more aggressive?
