I was diagnosed in July 2002, tiny tumor (they almost didn't find it) but 10 of 16 lymph nodes were positive. I had a lumpectomy, 3 rounds of taxotere and epirubicin administered on successive days, 6 weeks of daily radiation, 3 more rounds of taxotere and epirubucin (the chemo sandwich that they do at the university hospital where I was treated here in Germany), and then I got into the one-year arm of the HERA trial of adjuvant Herceptin and got it every three weeks from January 2003 to January 2004. And I've been fine ever since. Thank goodness, thank Genentech...
