I know it sounds scary , but many here have been in similar places. the doc is right about size of lump not mattering so much , many are in that range , surgery takes care of lump. Gone !! then rad is very good at killing cancer in any area it hits. It sounds like you switched to a bc specialist at a research clinic ? Thats the best place to be, to decide on the best systemic tx. Keep us posted .
My wife is doing great , stage iv since 2006 , now no evidence of disease on herceptin t dm-1, which works well for many ( not all ) w/ a high overexpression of her2 + . It should be FDA approved by the end of feb ., if not sooner.
