Thank you all for sharing your comments; nothing like an insider's view. Was told today that they are going to run a FISH test to confirm the IHC that showed my wife HER/2 +. Her onc had commented that it is very unusual to have a grade 1 tumor (not agressive) in combo with HER2/ +, which seems to go hand-in-hand with more agressive C's. The onc also said, however, that in the overall scheme of things, HER/2 + is not of sufficient concern nowadays to obsess over. We should have a plan in place by next week as to how best to proceed.
