Hopeful,
That was it. I have since met several women (at the chemo clinic) with the same dx and the same chemo protocol. We all have onc's from the same group, so perhaps they are of the same mind when it comes to chemo. I have also heard (on this site?) that being ER/PR strongly positive and HER2 positive corralates with a high Oncotype DX score for recurrance (though I did not have the Oncotype testing done myself).
Also, my second opinion was with Ravi Patel, who is one of top onc's in Bakersfield - working out of UCLA. He agreed with the suggestions of my onc regarding chemo.
As I said I wanted to be as agressive as was reasonable in my situation. I do get the feeling that if I had said I absolutely didn't want chemo, my onc would have not tried to talk me into it....but it was his recommendation.
