I was in the same boat as you but I am stage I, er/pr negative, 1.4 cm tumor grade 3 her2+. I am not getting taxol and was unsure so did the research, got 2nd and 3rd opinions and all came in the same, NO TAXOL. I too am comfortable with this decision. We can't take these chemo drugs lightly either. Hopefully, the professionals and research have done right by us. Good luck and feel better. It does get so much better after chemo.
