I just received the report from the HER2/neu ELISA Serum Test. My result was a resounding 6 ng/mL. Anything under 15 ng/mL is considered to be normal as everyone has HER2/neu cells to some extent. This test is an early indicator on progression, so my oncologist will be testing me every 3 months. 6 will be considered my baseline.
This test is currently FDA approved only for Stage IV metastatic bc patients but like Herceptin can be prescribed "off label" for other HER2 patients.
Hugs and well wishes,
Christine
