Re: Two types of her2 tumors
Nancy, thank you so much for posting this and thank you for your helpful editing. I just read the same article, then logged on and saw your post. I think this is wonderful news; the more the researchers are able to subtype our cancers, the better the nontoxic targets when they treat it. I say WHOO HOO!
Ellie great question about her2 and luminal type cancer. Also, Amanda, I am interested in your genetic mutation. What does the ve in your dx mean?
