Soccermom--I just looked at your signature info

Did your mom also have her2+ breast cancer or was hers her2-?

The reason I ask is that there has been a paper about a possible hereditary her2+ breast cancer which is X-linked (ie the gene is located on the X chromosome) and relates to FoxP3 which is a gene associated with a type of immune cell (T regulatory cell).
