What else does the ER/PR tell us besides how we would react to treatment? My report came back ER+ 90% and PR+ 70%, cerb2-. I realize that this means I will respond to chemotherapy favorably, however, I was wondering why my levels are so high. Could it be because I am on birth control pills and drink wine in moderation with dinner thus causing these levels to be high. What is normal?
I am 44 premenapausal, Stage 1 bc, IDC with EIC, no nodes, no mets. I opted for bilateral mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using saline implants due to family history (mother had breast cancer, stage 1). No chemo or radiation. Do I need to worry about the amount of hormones in my body. What else can I do to prevent a reoccurence.
Thanks so much!
