Hi Prayer,

It seem that adriamycin is a really aggressive drug for Her2+++ tumors. So the ACx4 and Tx4 with Herceptin is probably the best. You mentioned in your tumor pathology that you are node negative but you do have vascular/lymphatic invasion. Is that correct? If so, as my doc put it, "even if you are node negative, we still worry when you have vascular/lymphatic invasion". I would absolutly have your tumor tested again with the FISH test to make sure you are indeed, Her2+++.
