I had a very small tumor .6cm IDC. Three med onc recommended chemo, mainly because I'm 34 yrs old. If I were 80, they would reconsider.
It was recommended that I do AC-TH or TCH or TH. I choose Taxol and Herceptin. It gives me the benefit of Herceptin with a little boost from the Taxol. It's quite manageable too. I'll do rads because I did a partial mast.
Good luck! These decisions are not easy.
