My rather unusual case (good prognostic indicators in spite of the HER2 element) was referred to a professor of oncology here in the UK.

My IHC test came back at 2+ which is why they went ahead with the FISH test. There are obviously differing opinions here because said prof stated 2 was definitely negative and 3 was definitely positive, which is why I am borderline positive.

Hope this explains things.

BTW, Mcgle is an acronym of family members' names.
