stage 1, ER+/PR+, Her2+...node negative. Had bilateral mastectomy (invasive lobular). At the time (June '05) my onc said she would give me herceptin without chemo...I had the Oncotype DX test done-predicted a 'high-intermediate rate of distant (in another part of body!)recurrence. So I had 4 rounds of A/C and will finish my year of herceptin in October. Also taking arimidex for 5 years (er+). I have a MUGA scan done every 3 months and my heart (so far!) function has not changed at all...65%.
