Don't understand
OK ladies need your help. I have never understood my fish test path report and I always forget to ask my oncologist since we get on to other topics. I was just looking at it and it says " Given the average Her 2 Signal is roughly double to the number of CEP 17 signals, this MAY represent Her2/neu gene duplication without amplification. Gene duplication is uncertain with respect to gene amplication." Which number do I look at? Cep ration or average Cep 17 signal? It indicates that I am positive amplied. Results 2.2 with an average HER 2 signal cout of 4 copies/cell and preferably 7 copies. I kind of avoided this for the last year since this whole her2 thing is so scary. I can't figure it out. Call me an idiot. I guess now that I am almost finished with treatment I am feeling braver about knowing these numbers. I don't see my oncologist for a couple of months so I thought I would ask the experts here. It is the May represent Her2/neu gene that caught my eye today. Does that mean that it is not full proof? Can't blame me for hoping and wishing.
