Hi all, I wish all are well. Please help, do you know what does mean ER 8/8 . because I know is positive or negative. I got DCIS and 2 invasive.

Thank you for your help

  • It means your bc is oestrogen receptive (likes to use oestrogen!) and being 8/8 suggests you’ll need oestrogen reducing medication also known as aromatase inhibitors, depending on whether you are pre-menopausal or post-menopausal, your team might use Letrozole or Tamoxifen. 

    Hope that helps?
