What is a "multilobulated" tumor?

I hadn't paid too much attention to my pathology report but reading the site had me looking at it this evening and I am confused about a couple of things. My tumor was described as "multilobulated fairly well defined firm tax with a few foci of necrosis and hemorrhage. There are also multiple pale tan streaks throughout the mass." Does anyone know what this means? My tumor was 3 cm and I had no positive nodes under the arms. However, following my lumpectomy the oncologist found a tumor in the supraclavicular nodes. He was also surprised to find out I was Her2 "borderline". He described this (and I'm not sure I remember the numbers correctly) as ...if you are under 20 you are negative and over 22 positive and I was 21 or something...therefore borderline. I am on Herceptin and pray it will work for me.....on the site I get the impression that it works best for those who are powerfully Her2 positive so I worry a bit about that. Thanks to this wonderful site I have applied to the U of W Vaccine study and am being considered....the forms are in the mail now and I am happy. By the way, did 4 AC and 4 Taxol, radiation and am now on Arimidex and Herceptin.

Thanks

Cathy
