I urge you to get more than one opinion from oncologists who deal with breast cancer. There are members of this board who were first diagnosed as Stage 0, did not have Herceptin and were Stage 4 in a few years. You want to be sure you do all you can NOW, not in a few years. Why would you want to risk recurrence just because there may be "more advanced way of diagnosing/treating the cancer" in the future? Makes no sense to me.
