I did get the test because on my mom's side, I am the 12th person to get bc.
When I went in for the test I was told that typically, Her2+ bc does not have a genetic link and so therfore, women Her2+ bc usually are not BRCA 1 or 2 positive. I was negative.
The woman I worked with did say that our family probably does have some genetic mutation that just hasn't been identified yet (I was told that at Stanford, too). Several of my mom's male cousins have gotten stomach cancer. Lovely.
