My mums breast consultant told us she was weak ER+ last week. I asked the oncology consultant today if that was considered triple negative and she told me that my mum was actually moderate er+ as had score of 5/8. Is it tamoxifen that may be used post chemo and long is it for? Does anyone know if its useful against moderate ER+ tumours.
