Does anybody know what this means? I read the document but I am confused?

Thanks,

Cat,

I know this one was some tough going, but I thought it was important to post due to the specific effects on Her2+. Here is a link to a paper that describes pretty well what fetal microchimerism is: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2638004/

Once again, the abstract seems to say that something that is protective against bc in other phenotypes is actually promoting bc in Her2+'s.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Hopeful for the explanation.

This is not good news! I was hoping to have more kids some day.

If I read the abstract correctly, they are referring to left over male fetus material being the Her2+ driver.
