Dizzy Blonde- V confused ER+, PR- and HER2+

Right girlies,

on a positive note. I have just came back from the my post op consiltation. They have removed a 25m tumour and my lymph nodes were clear. So I have stage 1 grade 3 breast cancer. 

I'm sure the surgeon said it was estrogen positive receptive cancer. He mentioned that estrogen encouraged the cancer cells to rapidly grow. I'm now confused as he mentioned that I wont need hormone therapy as it doesnt respond well. I thought it was only estrogen negative that didnt. Maybe Iv got my wires crossed but Im sure he said estrogen positive. Confused!!!
