Cindi:

Did you have either a fine needle or core biopsy before your surgery at diagnosis? Also do you remember what your s-phase and diploid status might have been? I am currently 2B with 1 of 12 nodes positive at diagnosis and after dose dense chemo I am on Herceptin for one year. My S-phase was 6.5 % which is borderline and my DNA status was 1.0 diploid which is favorable but I wonder about asking for a second year of Herceptin.
