Hi @moslim , welcome to BC.org. We’re very sorry you’re going through this, and we can hear how worried you are about the treatment costs.
The FISH (Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) Test is used to figure out a breast cancer’s HER2 status. It measures the number of HER2 genes in breast cancer cells, which helps doctors decide whether HER2-targeted treatment is likely to help.
Please ask your hospital if there is a social worker, financial counselor, government program, or charity support that can help with the cost. Sometimes there are assistance programs that patients don’t know about until they ask.
Here are some resources from our main site that may be of help:
Hope this helps. Please keep us updated when you can. We’re thinking of you and sending support. 💕
