No Chemo update

Sounds like we're rowing a similar boat.
After much research, met with my doc today, who agreed to a "watchful waiting" approach, with serum HER-2 blood tests every three months. If/when the numbers indicate, we'll try for Herceptin alone (or, if enough time passes, perhaps Herceptin and another agent will be possible for me later). I'll add 1/2 hour of exercise per day for its benefit of delaying recurrence. Hope this approach is successful -- either way, I'm pleased with this alternative to all or nothing.
