Lani,

Just to clarify, up to '05 when I was dx chemo was always given if a tumour was over 1cm or had nodes positive or was her2+, usually the gold standard of that time a/c followed by Taxol/herceptin same as the U.S!

Most Onc's in Ireland would never suggest an ooph but when I suggested it myself my onc agreed it was a good idea
