Penelope,

As a 1.6 cm HER2 IDC node-negative with some DCIS who never had Herceptin after having Adriamycin and Cytoxan and 5-FU, and who has never had a taxane (it was believed that taxanes did little for those diagnosed hormone receptor positive), I'm 5 years out with no recurrence.

Hope that provides some perspective,

AlaskaAngel
