Re: 32 year old w/ HER2+++/Mitral Valve Prolapse & Herceptin???
Hi Jean,
I have a quick question. I am nearing the end of my Herceptin treatments. I was ER+ 95%, Pro-, and HER 2 positive. I was reading a post of yours from I believe July 2010, and where you mentioned the statistics surrounding your diagnosis, you said "HER2 +++ by FISH". What does this mean? I've seen it before and even called by breast surgeon and they didn't know what I was talking about. They again mentioned that I was HER2 positive, but didn't seem to know what "+++ by FISH" is. Can you clarify this for me?
Thank you so much.
Terri
