Hi Paris,
My tumor was 6mm by 5mm, IDCIS.
I had the Oncotype DX test done to see what my risk factor was and I also went to see Dr. Pegram for a consultation. He inputted my info into adjuvant.com and came up with a pretty good risk analysis. He said I had a 84% chance of being without recurrance based on my tumor and chemo would reduce that risk by 25% giving me a 5% added benefit. This put me into the 88% of nonrecurrance.
Then according to Becky, herceptin adds another 50% benefit which would make me another 6% benefit, putting me at 94% chance of not developing another recurrance.

But my situation may be not quite so easily predicted since I am BRCA2. THere are not many studies done on such small tumors let alone those that are BRCA positive.
