I think that conventional wisdom has changed in the past few years, if not the past year, itself. The conventional wisdom used to be that if you were node negative and under a centimeter, then you could get away with mild (CMF) or not chemo. Now, I believe that it is better understood that it is the TYPE of cancer cell that determines the treatment, and if you are her2neu3+, then you SHOULD have chemo...and aggressive chemo at that, one which involves adriamycin or a similar anthracycline PLUS a taxane.

You only want to do this once, right?
