er-. pr- and hr1

My mother's initial reports stated her er-. pr- and hr1, she had had neo-adj chemo , masectomy and radiation, the tumour biopsy states that the tumour is weakly positive for er, she has been advised armidex. it was a locally advanced cancer. thinking if armidex will benefit, is it worth the side affects.

You may want to ask your question on the expert forum. (there is a link on the right side)
I rarely recommend asking there, as the experts are generally unwilling to respond with any useful information when it's personal; i.e. your diagnosis, situation or treatment.

But this one is a perfect question to ask there.

As for myself, and you have to understand that I am speaking not only about myself but in retrospect, I would not take arimidex in a case of negative/very mild estrogen positivity.

I couldn't even handle the side effects with a very strong positive estrogen component.

As you know, everyone is different, and I think it would be best to stay with the experts on this question. I would also suggest a second opinion.
