Results in from Quest!!
Hi all;
Just got my Serum Her2 test results.....7.3. I'm pretty happy as these are smack in the middle of normal. I had been off herceptin for four months when this test was done so I'm feeling happy. I am ER/PR+ so it is possible that hormones could be feeding something I suppose and it is also possible that I have a pre-existing tumor and not many circulating her2's (? or whatever's) in the blood. BUT......I think these results are great. I'm going to have another test in a month or two to see if I have reacted to being back on herceptin and then if all is well it is recommended to do this test (as my results are in the normal range) four times a year. As an aside, I do find everything on the site (food rec's, tests, etc.) confusing as some things are good for hormone negatives but not recommended for hormone positives. In any case, a good day today!!!
