I went to ASCO with our site and attended a genetics seminar. BRCA1 women tend to almost always be triple negative. BRCA 2 is 50:50 triple negative or hormone positive. It is very, very rare for those who are Her2+ to be BRCA 1 or 2. The triple negatives are high on both lists.

I was tested and tested for no mutations.

Kind regards

Becky
