Tonya, something is not making sense here.

FISH results do not come back as a number of pluses ('seems like that word should have two "s's" but spellcheck says no). The reports of one, two, or three pluses are how IHC HER2 results are reported. FISH results are typically reported as simply positive or negative, or there is a ratio given.

Are you saying there was no pathology report at mastectomy? That seems incredibly weird and insufficient. That needs to happen, and since there is now this question - it should happen at an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center.

I suggest that you go to the lab that holds your tissue and slides and sign it all out to yourself. Then take it to where you want it to go to clarify this important question.

Please let us know how it goes. We're here, rooting for success (answers to your questions).
