C, I might ask about having 12 weeks of taxol with the first 12 weeks of Herceptin. Studies suggest that Herceptin and taxol work especially well together. If your loved one is relatively healthy she should be able to tolerate the additional side effects. The taxol is routinely done with stage 2A. The only difference between 1 and 2A is a centimeter. You could also get an oncotype test to see what the risk of recurrence is. Good luck. BB
