I had 4 TCH treatments. My onc felt that was sufficient since I was developing neuropathy and side effects in general. I think she to factored in quality of life issues along with the size of my cancer. Something of a balancing act. She had always intended me to have a full year of Herceptin, which I did.
I had seen another doc for a second opinion and she felt I did not need ANY chemo. So it is a conundrum.
Keep the faith. Let us know what you decide.
