HER2 serum test
My number has been on the cusp (15), and even above (16), for the two years since I was diagnosed. So far I am fine. I was friendly with Kate and her number was always well below mine and we began taking herceptin at the same time. Please don't think that a normal number means all is fine or an above normal number indicates you have a problem. This test is one tool of many, and it is not reliable, or used, as a diagnostic tool, nor is it advertised by its maker as such. Some of us have higher HER2 in our blood than others, even without cancer.
