I had noticed over the past 2 years that many women I had met that were her 2 + tended to be lean. Weird. I read a Danish report about tall teens (5'7" or over at age 15) being at a higher risk for bc (not just Her 2+) as adults. Based on my observations, when my neighbor was diagnosed with bc last year, I predicted she would be Her 2+ and she was.
