Mildly Her2+
I was originally diagnosed her2+ and have enrolled in a trial which required FISH, which came back negative - however, trial is very promising - Erbitux, Irinotecan and Carboplatin. After six weeks have seen a 25-50% reduction in tumor size. If your tumors haven't been tested by IHC & FISH, you may wish to ask your oncologist for the test.
