Joannie, just realized I didn't post any of my info or teatment. My tumor also abutted chest wall. I think surgeon sent speciman to path lab while I was under and went back in when margins were too thin. Final margins were fine except at the part that abuts chest wall. Stage 2, node neg, triple pos, Nottingham score7/9. AC, taxol and Herceptin, rads, tamoxifen and herceptin. I was told by the surgeon if the tumor was less than a cm, I wouldn't have to do chemo. But other docs looking at the big picture said it should be treated aggressively.
You could always get a 2nd opinion as well. With her 2+, size may not be indicative of prognosis. BB
