Wierd Question, I Guess.
This is a wierd question, I guess but something I've always kind of wondered about. If I'm understanding her2 correctly, we all have the gene. It's when it overexpresses that a problem occurs. My question................why having it overexpress did we get a breast tumor and not another kind of cancer? Can her2 cancer originate in another part of the body other than the breast?
Thanks.
