Bayer (now Siemens) HER2 serum test?
Saw this posted on another post. Where some are having it done occaisionally. What exactly is this and what does it tell? I'm not sure if I've had this done or should be getting it done. Is this the test where they initially tell if you are HER2+, and if so, why would we need it repeated...tks... sherryg683
