Toni,
Also check, if the surgically removed Masectomy tissue or lump or flesh, was subjected to FISH test for determining HER2+++. That is normally preserved for future use at Mayo Clinic, if it has been sent to them. If it is lost by the incompetant oncologist and company, there is no way of getting it back for possible future use or FISH test. If the FISH test has not been done and only the less effective IHC test was done to determine HER2, it has to be done . I believe Herceptin treatment for HER2 depends on the FISH test results, without which your friend may get into problems of finding somebody who will give Herceptin.
