I was an early stager diagnosed in March 2006. You can see my info below. I was told by my onc and surgeon that without a doubt, I should have chemo, radiation and then a year of herceptin and after carefully and thoroughly researching here and on my own, I came to the conclusion that I wanted to do all I possibly could to increase my chances of not getting a recurrence or a metastasis, so I did it all. I am still receiving herceptin and so far doing well. Good luck to you on your decisions. The decision making process can be so much easier if you do a lot of research and you came to the right place for that as well as for great support. There is definitely a lot of comfort in knowing you can turn to these wonderful support forum members for anything and always get an answer or a referral or more info. Keep us up to date please.
