I was not tested for TOPO II, and did get A/C last year. But I feel that it was the right thing for me, as my IDC was aggressive and fast growing (KI 67- 70%). I did and still do have concerns about heart damage and complications later on, but for now I am NED, afaik, and that's given me the will to keep fighting. I can't say whether it was the A/C, the rads, the Herceptin, the prayers! , or all of the above, but something got rid of the BC in my IM node and I am thrilled that I am living right now. I will deal with the future a day at a time, and not regret any treatments, or decisions by me or my doctors.
