Hi Ginger, originally I was directing my comments to Rhonda. I'm a layman and not a propeller head as Tom would call them. I think if we're on this site for 4 years we should qualify for some degree. 3 more years to go. Sorry about the spinal tumor. That has to be hard on the mind.

Perhaps when they did your initial biopsy , it wasn't common to test for all the parameters. Maybe you just couldn't decipher it.
I think they save the tumor for 5 years so you could get it retested if need be.

I would think right now if Herceptin doesn't clear that met, you need to look at adding something that will.

Keep posting your questions. The learned ladies will reply eventually. I would say at this point it is important to get lots of input from HER2 friends. So far I'm OK. Hope that continues. Best of luck, BB
