How has Serum Her2 test worked for you??

[stephanie59]

Reading all of this and a call from Christine has prompted me to ask my onc that the HER2 serum test and the CEA be added to my blood work. Already getting the CA 15-3 which has been a steady 12+ for years, but would feel better having tests that seem more appropriate for HER2. Also, reading posts regarding tumors on the spine have alerted me to the fact that my lower back pain may not be just old age, so am scheduled for a bone scan next Friday. Asking for a brain MRI as well. Although I am eight years out, I have always felt that my treatment could be more proactive, but my onc is not a believer in tests and scans. Fortunately with a little nudging, he has been agreeable and things are moving forward. Thank you all for the information that could very well save my life. Stephanie
