To treat or not to treat VERY early stage HER2 IDC

[carin]

Tough one and great you found this so early!!! Having done it all (mastectomies/chemo/RT and Herceptin) I would choose Herceptin in your case to hope this never comes back (easy to tolerate, very low risk in a young healthy woman like you- most problems with heart are when it is given with anthracyclines) - some oncs are doing just herceptin and Tamoxifen ....or Evista (Raloxifen) may be a good choice too. How nice you have options and enjoy the fact that regardless of what you do you will most likely never know if it mattered and be perfectly fine! Old saying...if you ask three oncologists, you will get four opinions...but get 'em anyway! Good luck to you
