I am 46 yrs old with strong family history of bc (mom & grandmo). In July Dx with stage 1 IDC, 1.5cm and .4cm (4mm)masses removed via lumpectomy, no nodes, grade 3. Er/Pr- her 2 +++ Started 1st session of chemo AC for 4 rounds every 3 weeks then taxol/herceptin followed by herceptin to equal 1 year. I will also receive radiation after the AC is finished. Do you think this is aggressive enough to prevent a reoccurance or am I a sitting time bomb for stage IV? Any other treatments I should be considering? Thank you so much.
