Rhonda,

I was dx stage 1, node neg., 1.7 cm tumor, grade 3, ER + 75%, PR -, HER2 +++.
I had lumpectomy first, 4 AC, 12 weekly Taxol with Herceptin and Herceptin continued for 1 year. No radiation because I later opted for bi-lateral masectomy, otherwise I would have had rads too. I also had my ovaries out because I was premenopausal and wanted to be able to take Aromtase Inhibitor.
I just had to do everything I could to prevent going through this again.

Best wishes to your friend.
