I had a small tumor 7mm (invasive lobular), node neg. ER+,PR+,Her2+++ did 4 rounds A/C. And am doing arimidex, and Herceptin for a year-3 week intervals. (Had oncotype dx test done-predicted a high intermediate risk for recurrence ) Onc. said she would have done herceptin without chemo but with the oncotype dx results she felt strongly that the chemo was necessary.
