fish/IHC
I was positive - 2+ to 3+ on my IHC, but negative on my Fish with only 40% rating. There was controversy about whether I should take Herceptin - I finally went to an Onc who would give it...
The actual reading of the test result went like this:
The Her2/neu to centromere 17 ratio was 1.62 +/- 0.71. A her2/neu to D17z1 ratio greater than 2.00 usually indicates Her2 gene amplification. The percentage of cells with a ratio of 2.00 or greater was 40%. There was an average number of 3.1 copies of the her2/neu gene.
