I got a second opinion after 4 treatments and I continued with my second opnion because he explain to me my pathology report. My first oncologist did not she just started treatments and not recording my medical records correct. My onc now stated he did not see any reason why I had to do chemo anyway my tumor cells was 1.2cm which was very small. He and I did agree that I needed the herceptin treatments for a year but not the chemo. So I suggest please get a second opinion.
