No, I didn't have a biopsy. I was told they were just too small to needle biopsy. At the time I was so eager to get started on chemo, I just told my doctor to assume they were and treat me as agressively as possible. It's just later down the line that I would like to have know for sure. He said it wouldn't have changed his treatment for me, except now I qualify for life long Herceptin without any problem. ..sherryg683
