Serum Her2 test
Hello,
Could someone please explain the serum test for her2 to me? After reading Emelie's post it got me wondering about it. I do not know anything about the test. From what I've researched I am under the impression that I need to be on herceptin or just finishing up with it to do this test? I also read something about mets. I have been off of herceptin for a little more than a year and did not have mets - other than 1 micromet to 1st sent. node.
So, if someone could offer me an explanation, I'd appreciate it. I go in for my 6 month check up the end of December and if this is something I should be asking about I would like to do it at that time.
Thanks in advance,
Mary Jo
