What is ErbB2 Cancer

In the Tykerb post, it says that patients who don't qualify for any of the other Tykerb trial but has ErbB2 advanced or metastatic breast cancer may qualify? What exactly is this ErbB2? I am currently in remission Stage IV but would love to get on a trial of Tykerb with Herceptin.. I am hoping I would qualify because of my advanced stage. I would really love to stay in remission and feel this combo would help greatly...would I qualify in your opinion?...sherryg683

Sherry,

I may be wrong, but I think it means, Her2+++.
