Age is a big one, and family history if you have any, play a big role in chemo. I was practically stage 1 and had a recurrance even after aggressive chemo. I would push strong for herceptin if you had an invasive component, extensive intraductal dcis, or things along that nature that suggest that it's aggressive enough to have moved through the bloodstream. but each persons situation is different. you can utilize many 800 numbers like the american cancer society and those types. they give good info.
