I was dx'd in May 2005, invasive lobular, left breast. Had bilateral mast., node neg., 7mm (small) tumor, ER+,PR+,Her2+...my onc. also said she would consider my treatment ended with mast. if not for the Her2+( with tamoxifen for the ER+)). I also had an Oncotype DX test done, that showed a high-intermediate risk for recurrence. That convinced me to go for chemo and herceptin. I did 4 rounds of A/C and am now into my year of herceptin. I am also on Arimidex. From everything I hear about recurrence...and Her2+, I am going to do everything available to prevent recurrence! I am grateful to all the women in the trials and for all the feedback on this site.
