Hi Lynne,
Welcome to our site - you will meet and come to learn what a fantastic
site this is. Not only will you gain great knowledge but the very in support.

In answer to your question. Well, of course it is an individual chocie.
Sassy provided a wonderful link for you to read. We also have lots of
inforamtion on IDC and DCIS..just use the search bar above.

From my very own experience with a tiny tumor please do not let size motivate your decision. I think that since you are ER- you should give
great consideration to treatment. At least if you were ER+ you could
take hormonal mediation, such as an AI/or/Tamoxafin. Next, considering
that your HER2 positive with FISH of 9.20% is considerable and you should at the very least have herceptin. Next, Herceptin works best when in
combination with a chemo. These are known facts. I would consider the TCH ...but if you feel that is too aggressive for you then at least the
the Taxol /herceptin treatments.

While node negative is very favorable I just don't trust it. There are studeis showing many women have recurrence with node neg. There are millions of cells in a tiny tumor so the odds of one small cell escaping is possible. Please remember Her2 loves to travel.

If you want to discuss this just reach out to me with PM and we can speak. Wishing you very best.

Kind Regards,
Jean
