It has been a very long time since I have been on here, but this is the only place where I can feel a connection to how I may be feeling. I have now been cancer free for almost 4yrs. The pain in my right breast did go away all my scans have been clear, however it (the pain) is back and yesterday I seen my ONC (now every 6 months). She told me my protien number is higher than it has been in the last 3 1/2 yrs. She wants to do a mammagram and ultra sound and now wants to see me every 3 months. Can someone refresh my memory--what is the Her2 protein? is it a over acting cell? or what. I am really trying not to be scared or over reacting to what may be nothing..
Thanks
