receptor status

receptor status

ally 44,
Hi,I am aged 44 in good health,had lumpectomy, 2 and half cm tumour,13 lymph nodes removed December 2010,3 nodes were cancerous.Diagnosed TNBC
I am about to have my 3rd of 8 chemo treatments,4 x EC then 4 x Taxotere.
I am trying to understand some of the paperwork Ive been given from the hospital,I live in Germany and have had real problems with the language barrier.My question is regarding Receptor Status,
My paperwork says, Oestrogen,Progesterone,c-erbB-2HER-2/neu negative.I understand this gives me the TNBC status, what I dont understand or know anything about is: p53 negative and Proliferation marker Ki67 ; in 50% of the tumour cell nuclei positive (high proliferation activity.
I would be very grateful if you could explain this to me.
Thankyou
allison
