I forget how big your tumor was. If it is 1cm or larger, I would go for the taxol with Herceptin. I had 2 micromets to the sentinel node so I was node positive so I got the taxol (of which there is great benefit to Her2+ bc regardless of hormone status (I think I posted the ASCO 2006 paper on this subject for you)). Maryanne on this forum was node negative and got taxol with Herceptin (1.1cm tumor) at Sloan Kettering.

I triple the 2nd opinion vote.
