Hi all,

Do you know of anyone who is BRCA1+ and HER2+? Of the few people with HER2+/BRCA+ cancers that I know, all have the BRCA2 mutation. If you don't want to post this information on a public list, you could simply say that you know a friend who is both BRCA1+ and HER2+. Or you could reply to me privately - my email is my username, @earthlink.net .

Thanks. I'm going to have this test done and am thinking of asking it to be done just for BRCA2. I realize that this is not a scientific way to go about this but the small research attempts that I've done have linked HER2+ only to BRCA2 (not 1). Myriad says otherwise.
