Hey Candy, Welcome, under not so good circumstance but we are all sisters here. I too am er/pr + and her- . ER/PR + means the cancer is receptive to estrogen and progesterone and grows when aided by those hormones. HER- means it is not in that classification and you do not take that medication for your cancer. You will go on hormone therapy when all else is complete for ER/PR + , if you are not already. The medication will stop your body from processing and making estrogen.Be strong , you can win this battle, God is good! Take care, Benita "God so LOVED the world", "the greatest of these is LOVE" Blessed to have love Benita,Danielle and Liam

Hi Candy Your feelings of being scared is very appropiate---I am sure everyone of us have had those feelings, and even days now. There is a lot to understand and right now it can be very over-whelming. Take your time and ask many many questions, read everything you can about Breast Cancer and still ask questions for what you don't understand--even then, you will always be learning. Benita gave you some really good information, and this is how it goes. These ladies are great support!!! Come visit us often. Linda C LINDA C

Hi Candy, I was just talking about this "matter" today. It is more so when I have "nite sweats", I believe I can smell my skin, and I do think it is the Chemo coming through my pores--no, it does not smell pretty, as soon as I cool down, it goes away. I have not ask my Dr. just have to deal with it. I am on Navelbine and Tykerb. Linda C LINDA C
