Thank you for your input hopeful!

I'm actually hopeful to find the right oncologist for her, obviously right now after the mastectomy she's been left alone with no treatment plan which makes me furious over here. Not much I can do but whatever I can do from here I will do.

Good luck to you,
Moni

C, I might ask about having 12 weeks of taxol with the first 12 weeks of Herceptin. Studies suggest that Herceptin and taxol work especially well together. If your loved one is relatively healthy she should be able to tolerate the additional side effects. The taxol is routinely done with stage 2A. The only difference between 1 and 2A is a centimeter. You could also get an oncotype test to see what the risk of recurrence is. Good luck. BB
