I had the test too. At first my IHC came back 2+ or when first told to me... borderline. When FISH came back positive, I wanted some kind of "definintion" or quantative number. How positive is positive I asked? Just my luck... the score came back as a 23. My ONC.... so eloquently put it as "you are sitting on the fence. If you were 20 years older... I would suggest foregoing the chemo.... if you were 20 years younger I would be adamant about chemo" ( I am 54) So now he put the ball back in my court and I knew I had to fight this with really big guns.... no cannons. I did not ask about the probablitiy of reoccurence and really I dont think I want to know. Who needs a dark cloud over their head thinking of what might be in the future. I am living and fighting for today. Who knows, I may be run over by a bus tomorrow but at least I will not be sidetracked thinking about reoccurence when I step off the curb and did not see the bus! I plan on following the chemo and doing everything possible to not have a reoccurence. Not even half way ther tho I am curious as to what "tests" I should be having to make sure there are none???? As you can see from my signature... my pathology is clean except for the damn HER2+. What should I be expecting in the way of any tests that should be done in the future?
Keep the faith
