Hi Dominic --
I was node negative with 4 small tumors (together about 2 cm). I am glad to be getting 1-year of Herceptin as a prevention to recurrence. The heart risks can be monitored with testing and affect such a small proportion of those on the drug. Also, I've had no side effects and just pretend I'm at the spa when I go in every 3 weeks for the infusion. I use the time to read a book or magazine that I wouldn't normally read and must admit to feeling a little guilty that I'm relatively healthy compared to those who are getting the harsh chemo drugs.
I'm 45 also with a 5-year-old son and want to do everything I can to live a long and healthy life!
Good luck with your decision.
Jill
