Check out the post about HER2 - or + I think it might help to explain some of it to you. But, you need to have your oncologist explain it Monday! Good luck Aurora!

    Aurora.......
    The FISH test is used to determine if you are HER-2 positive. It measures the amount of HER-2 in each cell.
    LOL, don't ask me what FISH stands for though.
