Harrie,
It DID matter to us. But it was for my Lyle... He took TAC for 3 months (well, a decreased taxtore alone after I stopped the A/C). His nipple was totally involved and oozing a bloody discharge. The tumor was close to his chest wall.
In his case, it was the right thing to do as this worked to shrink the tumor for nice clean margins and did nearly visually clean up the nipple. He was dx'd Stage IIIb for the local invasion... Other wise highly ER+ PR+ with no nodes positive, No Her+ either.
He's taking Tamoxifen and doing well (far as we can tell.)

Very best of luck with hope for you,
