Hi Dr. Carney,

Thanks for replying to my concern about the Her2 serum test done by Quest lab. As I don't have access to Labcorp(very far from where I live) which does the FDA approved her2 serum test, is it OK for me to do the test in Quest lab? Is the theory behind both the tests same except that one being manual and other automatic? Can I continue with Quest lab with out having any suspecion?

Thanks so much for answering all our questions.
