Thanks again, Lani.

Yes, I was node-negative and there were no signs of vascular invasion either (thankfully), which is why I did not receive chemo. Neither was herceptin recommended. Actually, there seems to be some controversy over whether herceptin would work for us HER2+ borderlines, anyway.

That’s why I am wondering about my proliferation rate. Surely, if all other prognostic indicators were good (barring the borderline FISH result), this should have been low? But I just don’t know.

There is still much to chew over!
