"My surgeon specializes in breast surgery and all the female drs. and nurses at this breast center go to him. He did not think I needed chemo"

From my mom's experience, I have to say surgeons should do surgery, med oncs should do medicine. I found my mom's surgeon a bit lacking in the medicine area. This was back in Tamoxifen/Aromotase revolution days where it was a hot topic (still is). When I used the term SERM, he gave me one of those confused looks dogs give you.
Ok..enough.

You might get the tissue tested since there may be vaccine trials available without recurrence. Positive Her2 results might give you leverage for higher follow-up vigilance.
