				How has Serum Her2 test worked for you??
			 
 I am wondering who on the board is using the Bayer Serum Her2 test and what sort of numbers you are getting.  I would like to know these in conjunction with your ER/PR status and whether you are strongly Her2+ or borderline as well as treatments.
 I am waiting for my first results, am ER/PR+ and borderline.  I have only been on Arimidex for the past four months but am beginning herceptin again this week on a weekly basis.  I intend to get another test at least one month after starting herceptin.  I'm stage 3c having finished chemo, radiation August 2005.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Cathy
