Hi Gina and Lani,

I always take my Her2 serum test just before going for Herceptin infusion and I am really worried about the upward trend. Do you know what other factors can influence the Her2 serum test? My liver enzyms are elevated(both AST and ALT) while on chemo. My doctor is not concerned about this and she says they can rise while on chemo. Can liverenzyms affect Her2 serum?

Thanks,
Julie
