Hello and questions

Hi, I am new here. Diagnosed Sept. DCIS (high grade), mastectomy found 5cm DCIS with 2mm IDC, ER/PR-, node -, Her2+(3+) no FISH. So two Onc. say 5-10% chance of recurrance. They are both recommending 12weeks of Taxol and a year of Herceptin, mostly based on the fact that I am 42years old.

So I need your help. I can't decide if this small chance of recurrence outweighs the side affects of the treatment. What are your experiences with the side affects both during and especially long term from similar treatments?

I am also looking at the San Antonio reports on recommendations for treatment for Her2+ in small tumors. I keep gong back and forth.

I would appreciate any thoughts.
