Hi~
Getting educated is the most empowering thing you can do for yourself right now!You'll feel much more comfortable when you meet w/your onc if you have a solid base of knowledge.
I found Dr. Susan Love's book "The Breast Book" incredibly helpful & user friendly. Since your appointment's on Tuesday, if might be faster to check out her website, but I'd recommend getting the book regardless.

A common chemo combo for early stage BC is "AC +TH"
Adriamycin+Cytoxan, followed by Taxol + Herceptin.
I believe you'll be on Herceptin x 1 year, following active chemo.
Since you are Node Negative, there may be some modifications to this combo.
Hope this is helpful...it's been 5
1/2 yrs since my dx, and there have been many advances in BC treatment since then, so I wouldn't be surprised if my info is really out-of date.
Definitely check out Dr. Susan Love's website & buy the book - they don't call it The Breast Cancer BIBLE for nothing!
Take good care & best of luck~
