I also got aggressive treatment, and you can see from my signature that I was node negative with a small tumor. What I read about Her2 cancers made me decide to be aggressive one year ago. Also my Oncotype score was 32 -- at the beginning of high risk. I recently read that an Italian study found that 25% of node negative BC patients in the study had cancer cells in their bloodstream. This despite being node negative. That also makes me glad I was aggressive. It depends on how much risk you are comfortable with. My Oncotype score gave me a 22% chance of recurrence. My oncologist told me that many women would have taken my risk and turned down chemo. I wasn't comfortable doing that. The Oncotype DX test looks at genetic information on the tumor. It's very expensive. If your insurance covers it, ask your doctor about it. On the other hand, I've heard that ALL Her2 BC tumors will score high risk on the Oncotype due to the Her2 factor. All the very best, whatever you choose.
