her2s are different again--her2positivity is INVERSELY correlated with BMI

[Leslie's sister]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Not fair. My sister is her2+++ and has a very low BMI. She is 5'4" and around 108.

I had noticed over the past 2 years that many women I had met that were her 2 + tended to be lean. Weird. I read a Danish report about tall teens (5'7" or over at age 15) being at a higher risk for bc (not just Her 2+) as adults. Based on my observations, when my neighbor was diagnosed with bc last year, I predicted she would be Her 2+ and she was.

Well, I am chubby and Her2 3+++ (not lazy though!) I was also premenopausal. I have 2 friends about the same age, with aggressive node+, er+ disease, as chubby as me, but both are her2-.

Maybe I am a thin woman trapped in a rubenesque bod!
