Is her2 breast cancer hereditary

[sabpri]

I am always the one to bust the "norms", but I had 2 Tumors, one was ER/PR+ and Her2 Neg, the other was Triple Negative, but contained a Subpopulation that was Her2+, Amplified. No one really knew what bucket to put that one in, but it did have Her2+ in it. I also tested positive for BRCA2, which I was TOTALLY shocked over. No one in my family has had BC. My mom and her sister never have, and neither has my grandmas or any of their 8 sisters! We were shocked when my mom tested BRCA2+ (she opted to test when I tested + and then they tested my dad thinking it was him since he had cancer on his side of the family). When his came back negative, we knew it was probably her. She is in her 60's and has never had any cancer.

I am very scared for my little girls, but they are only 3 and 5, so I pray to God things will be much more advanced (even a cure!) by the time they grow up. At least they will be "on alert" and not unprepared like me.

I did have ooph in March of this year due to hormone+ and BRCA status.
