Hi all,

I am er +
pr indeterminate
node negative
.4 cm tumor
I had a lumpectomy and 4 A/C followed by radiation. One year and 3 months after the end of chemo, I started on herceptin every three weeks for a year. I am also on Femara. So far so good with the herceptin. I also had the oncotype dx test which indicated that I had a high risk for recurrence. That is why I opted for the A/C. and once I saw the statistics on the herceptin I decided to go for that too. Now sometimes I wonder if I should have done one of the taxols too. You always hope you do enough to prevent a recurrence.
