post pregnancy/ breast feeding bc

I ve only skim read the article but it is scary stuff. My youngest was 4 and a half when i was diagnosed and I had breast fed her until she was 3, not for nutritional reasons , partly as she was reluctant to give up her before bed feed and partly because I thought I was protecting myself against bc. I do not have secondaries as far as I know , and am currently having herceptin , arimidex and zoladex. My mother died when i was 12 and my youngest sister 8, 3 and a half years after dx when my sister was 4 and a half .....

her2 and pregnancy

I was also diagnosed while pregnant. There are so many woman with her2+++ who got diagnosed while pregnant. I always wonder what is the relation between her2 and pregnancy.
