Dear Fluffqueen,
It seems to me that you have been treated very heavily for the kind of path report you had. Yours is even more favorable than mine and I'm 7,5 years out from diagnosis. I never had Chemo or Herceptin.

Here in Europe we tend to be less aggressive because we think quality of life is important too.

I think you shouldn't worry too much. Your prognosis is quite favorable. Has your doc discussed hormone tx with you? That's the only other weapon you might want to use. Allthough it seems that you've been doing a lot already to keep the beast from returning.

Like my doc said to me: I don't expect to see you back here, so go on, enjoy life.

Hugs

Jacqueline
