HI Lani,

Though most of the post you just made is over my head, yes, my cousin is on my mother's side. My mother also had breast cancer and a recurrence, but has been cancer free for 15 years now. We don't know what her pathology was, she didn't keep it as a record and I would assume it's too old to be on file - not that her2 would be indicated anyway.

I would be interested in information on this subject - thanks so much!
