The Her2 3+ is the highest rating of Her2 overexpression...so yours is very positive. You should request as assay by FISH standards if they didnt already do one...it is more accurate. As far as chemo, it would depend on the tumor size and the nodes. I had a very small tumor...7mm, no positive nodes, but my Her2 was also 3+...I did not have chemo, it was NOT recommended by 3 different oncologists...and now 1 1/2 years later I have mets to my lymph nodes...get more than one opinion would be my advice...chemo may or may not prevent recurrance...they look at the size of the tumor, type, node status, S phase, diploidity of the cells, Her2 status, PR ER status etc to decide.
Good Luck
