I was dx with 6MM tumor size - Her2/nu-3+ estrogen positive - node neg.

Chemo WAS NOT recommended by three top oncs. Dr. Michaelson at St. Barnabas was and is one of my Onc. Being Her2/nu does not mean that chemo is a given. There are many other factors that must be considered. This was a painful jounrey for me - since I pushed very hard thinking that I should have chemo since I was Her2 etc . Tumor size has very much to do with the decision and grade of the tumor plus the nodes. But I stand on the soap box and shout get two three or more opinions from the top oncs in the field.
