Re: Report went from her2 - to equivocal to her2 +

You certainly have every right to having your doctor explain it in NON pathology terms. And she should be able to do that.
I went to the pathologist to have him explain my results because they were unclear. AND he uncovered more information when he looked the second time!
Have your questions written down so you dont forget. And write the replies. Have someone with you.
Keep the faith.
