Re: What Makes HER2 Positive Cancers Unique After Treatment?

I am asking about AFTER treatment. How does it affect your chances to get another cancer or different cancer, ect. Do HER2 Positive cancer patients need to be monitered longer than other patients for example? What does it mean if your body expresses too much HER2 in the long run? What are we lacking or do we have an excess of something? For example, take 2 women that had and were treated for breast cancer 15 or so years prior. Does it matter the subtype of their breast cancer years after treatment? Are there certain illnesses that HER2 Positive are more prone too?
