I believe if means ER-, PR-, and Her2+

Estrogen Receptor, Progesterone Receptor, and the orphan receptor Her2/Neu.

So it means that both of the hormone receptors (ER and PR) are not expressed by the tumor, but that other known markers, like Her2 are expressed.

Expressing (being positive) is a good thing because it gives the clinicians something to target.

Does Peyton List have cancer?

No it was just involvement in Breast cancer advocacy.Fall 2005, the Colts asked Manning to help their efforts to raise money for breast cancer. "(Green Bay Packers quarterback) Brett Favre's wife, Deanna, had come down with breast cancer and that made an impact on me," Manning says. "I thought with Peyton and the Colts, we can do something to make a difference."Deanna Favre's battle against breast cancer quickly became intensely personal. She ordered pink Colts ball caps to sell to raise money for breast cancer research. "My dad bought a large amount of hats and I mailed them to my mom," Manning recalls. "The day she got them she called me and said, 'I got your hats and it's perfect timing, because I just found out today that I have breast cancer.'"Manning's mother also had cancer- and a double mastectomy.Manning's goal is to use Peyton's platform to raise awareness and money for breast cancer research. Several Indianapolis businesses have pledged to help her raise money through events. "If you can find it early, you'll be OK," Mannings suggests. "That's really my goal, to help improve people's ability to find it early."Manning and his wife were just involved in raising awareness of breast cancer related issues.

Can you have breast reduction after radiation?

Yes. As with any type or form of cancer, the cancerous cells can re-appear in that area or in another area at any time. A friend of mine had breast cancer at a young age, had a double-mastectomy and was cancer-free for about a year and a half. Then, the cancer came back. There are lymph nodes under your arms and your breast tissue goes into your chest wall.Even with a mastectomy, if they get the whole tumor out and treat with chemo or radiation, then find no signs of cancer for a year or 2 or more, unfortunately, the cancer can come back at any time.So rock those pink ribbons and donate to Susan G. Komen!!
