I don't think you were overtreated. I had a .5 mm tumor -- 1/2 centimeter. My oncotype score was 32--beginning of high risk for recurrence, with just a tiny little tumor. That's what Her2 does. I hope that studies prove herceptin to be so powerful that we Her2s can dispense with chemo, but I don't think we are there yet.
