Hi Kathy,

I believe the National Cancer Guidelines, used by many oncologists, is that if the cancer is 1 cm or greater, and is HER2 positive, treat with chemotherapy. I will look about to see if I can find the website and I will post it on this thread so you can read the guidelines for yourself. My tumor was small, 5mm, and my oncologist recommended chemotherapy. He told me that if it had been 1 cm, he would not have given me the choice (although how he could do that is beyond me).

Good luck!
