new to this...

hi everyone,

i'm new here so i'm not sure what to say or what to really ask.

my mom was diagnosed in june with idc. she had a mastectomy, no node involvement, 1.3 cm tumor, so that makes her stage 1. her path report showed that she's her2 positive. her oncologist recommends doing chemo along with herceptin.

i guess we're wondering if we should just go with the standard care of stage 1, without the herceptin or go ahead with the chemo & herceptin. i'd appreciate any thoughts or links regarding this... i've read as much as i can on the web about it, but would love to hear some stories or advice.
