Your diagnosis is almost identical to mine, except my tumor was smaller 0.7cm, neg nodes, ERPR neg, Her2 3+. I had a mastectomy and no other treatment...wish I would have tried to find someone to give me Herceptin. I was placed on it 1 1/2 years later when mets to the lymph nodes occured. I was NED up until a few weeks ago (1 yr.) when more mets to the nodes appeared. I will stay on Herceptin now and Carboplatin will be added. Herceptin seems to be harder on the heart if you have had A/C chemo first. I have never had a problem with it in over a year.
You have found a wealth of information here from those of us who have been there!
Hugs and Prayers
