merry,
I was also diagnosed stage 1, but er+/pr+, her2+++, grade 3,1.9 cm tumor . My onc. highly reccomended 4 AC, but left the decision of 4 taxol up to me. I'am now continueing with herceptin and tamoxifen. My onc. tells me I'am still high risk, but went above and beyond what I needed to do. I would strongly reccomend you seek a second opinion. Perhaps you can find an onc. that will give herceptin by its self.noone can give us a timeline for reoccurance. I know women who have went several yrs. without chemo, and some who only went 10 months with it. Please be as aggressive as your medical situation will allow. Best wishes to you in whatever decision you make.
Michelle
