There are 2 tests to see if you have the HER2 protein--ICH and the F.I.S.H. the F.I.S.H. is the more accurate of the two. The ICH is rated 1+,2+. and 3+ depending on the amount of staining and how heavily your biops. tissue was stained. It is looked at by human eyes. My ICH test was 3+.
The F.I.S.H. is the more accurate one, but doctors say it is very expensive. Since the ICH can have a 2% false positive reading, I demanded the FISH test which also came out positive. I did not want to take the Herceptin unless I knew it could help me for sure. Kat in the delta
