Okay I am going to throw my 2 pennies in. You had a 1.5 mm so that is VERY small, serious but small. I know one person who had a small idc who did not have chemo or herceptin and she is 3+ years out. Another swimangel (on here) I believe had a small amount of idc and had navelbine (just hair thinning) and herceptin for the year. So there are 2 schools of thoughts.

Another is if treatment would be offered because you are so far out from surgery. I would get the second opinion and see what they say, it's not going to hurt. ((hugs))
