My disease particulars
dx. 2002 with 4mm invasive her2+, 1 sentinel node + for less 2mm rest of nodes clean.
tx. masectomy with 6 months of CMF
NED since

Also I just pulled off the below critera from the Herceptin after adjuvant chemotherapy in Her2 positive bc. trail which is listed below. It appears that I do fall out of the criteria as my node was not positive by traditional standards. Again, only a micrometatsis and my invasive was less than 1 cm.


The hormone-receptor status of the tumor was determined and the tumor tissue was accessible for central review. Eligible patients had node-positive disease (irrespective of pathological tumor size) or node-negative disease (including only a negative sentinel node) if on pathological examination the tumor size was larger than 1 cm.
