I am newly diagnosed. 45 yrs old
IDC 0.4 and 0.6mm, Stage 1, grade 1
ER+ , PR-, Node Negative, HER2 Positive

Since my Tumor size & Grade Says No Chemo...Thats what I started out thinking. Onco recommended me to have Chemo with tamoxifen since I am HER2 Positive and ER+. Can I just have tamoxifen along with Herceptin without going thru the Chemo?

Anybody has the same situation?
