Doesn't anyone out there have any feedback for me on this?

I am confused about estrogen receptors and breast cancer. I am 42 and had infiltrating lobular bc, bilateral mastectomy.
My tumor receptors were ER neg and PR positive. My Oncologist plans to
give me tamoxifen. My oncologist said that I could have ER positive
receptors but due to the time of the month - or where I was in my
cycle - when the tumor was removed, the ER receptors could have been
a false negative because I am pre-menopausal. I would appreciate any
information related to this concept: False ER negative tumor as a
function of where in the woman's cycle the tumor was removed.
