Reoccurance-Please Help Me!!!!!!!

Hey guys -
2 years ago I underwent a bilateral masectomy for DCIS with microinvasion. No Rads or Chemo (Node Negative) - however, "dirty margins".... ER-,PR- HER2+3.

Now 2 years later - it has reoccured in the "dirty margin area" - and the doc reexcised me ... and performed the free tram flap procedure to take most of the skin and some muscle away. More nodes were removed and they came back negative. This time she got clear margins. It was DCIS with microinvasion again ... but there are some small foci of invasive ductal carcinoma.... The path report said "residual breast tissue" Er-, PR-Her2+3. The tumor was .6mm

At any rate, doc now recommending chemo + rads.... Chemo Taxotere/Cytosin plus herception for a year followed by rads. I feel this is so aggressive in that they are treating DCIS as if it were invasive and spread all over my body. (Bone and CT scan came back clear) .... (I'm also skeptical of chemo - not sure I want to damage perfectly healthy cells for no benefit)

Anyone have any comments - or experienced a similar thing!
Any input would be appreciated!
