My opinion for what it's worth. Start with the A/C now. You'll have 4 treatments probably every 2 weeks, followed by 4 of Taxol. That would buy you some time to " haggle " with the ins. co.( aren't they fun ??) about paying for your herceptin. I don't think your oco should have told you that they probably wouldn't pay - you just don't know with some of them. Mine are as tight as they come and I've had several confrontations with them over the years, but they are paying for my herceptin for at least a year maybe longer.
I've read that if you are indeed her2 positive, that based on that very encouraging clinical trial completed in April, that you should be probably receivimg Herceptin. Did I missread your message in stating that your tumor was 7mm ??? If so, with no node involvement, sounds like you should do well.
Sometimes it gets very confusing with more than a few opinions- then they usually leave the pateint to make the decision.
RE; asking your oco what she would do and her reply !!! Mine said it was a tough question but she would have done the same -- starting herceptin treatments.
Good luck-- you'll do fine
