I got my lab back from Targeted Molecular Diagnostics. My PTEN was positive. That's good. All of the info i've read is that if you have PTEN the Herceptin should work.My EGFR came back 1+. It looks like they read it out like Her2, 1+ 2+ and 3+ I wanted that one negative. It sounds like if it is positive, then that's just one more pathway the cancer can find to grow again. It's only 1+ so i don't if that is good or bad? What are your thoughts on the EGFR?
