I am speaking as a nurse and as a BC survior with HER2 3+ and mets after 1 1/2 years from original diagnosis. From the looks of most of the people entering this site, it seems very common, and that is due to the fact that Her2 makes the cancer cells more agressive. It also seems to be an important factor whether or not the CA is ERPR positive or Negative. That is why constant vigilance is so important as to any new symptoms, not to mention regular check ups and scans. Catching any Mets early seems to be the important factor. If it does return or mets are found, early treatment usually gives a favorable outcome.
