I was stage 1 with a .5 CM tumor and node neg. My Oncotype DX score was 32 -- the beginning of high risk. I took Herceptin. My impression is that Her2 cancers, no matter how small, always score "high intermediate" or "high" risk of recurrence in 10 years on the Oncotype DX test. My guess is that in the future the question will not be whether or not to take Herceptin (or Tykerb) if we are Her2, but how long to take Herceptin.
