Lolly,

I remember you saying that your Her2 serum score is around 12, which is in the normal range. I am wondering why is it in the normal range when you had an evidence of desease in the lymph nodes. I am also getting this test done and it is always in the normal range between 6 and 8. Now I am really suspecious whether the test is reliable for small mets.
