Hi Susan V, I think I would get a second opinion. Panel F shows recurrence at 5 years at 10% with T & H. 30% without. My doc said the absolute reduction in risk after doing tamox, rads etc for Herceptin is 5%. My doc recommended doing it, The only difference in pathology between me and you is 1.6cm. You're younger and high grade. I think I would push for some Herceptin.

Thanks all for your posts. I know the graphs are just numbers but I like having them. The discussion makes everything so much easier to understand.
