Just be SURE that the appropriate tests were done to establish this! Maybe do another FISH test. The ONCO test(expensive but worth it) will tell how much overamplification there is. Get a second test if there is any doubt about her status. HEr 2 is nothing to fool around with.... better to know what's up especially with the new courses of treatment that are available today... Herceptin. I hope the best for your Mom.
