not sure what's next

jpmercy

hi ladies, i was wondering if anyone is in a similar situation. i started off original dx with DCIS grade 3 multifocil BMX on Sept3 final pathology showed Grade three multifocil microinvasions and a 2.5mm tumor that is HER2neu +3 and grade three 40% ER/PR anyway i jsut turned 30 so im confussing to my oncologists and ive seen a few one at a major cancer institute. they feel like if i was 55 they wouldnt treat but they are so scared of leaving me with nothing bc of a few studeis from australia and from UCLA that claim distant recurrance is possible.  they are recommending a year of herceptin and four doses of light chemo with taxol and something else but i cant remember the name  spread out over 12 weeks anyone go this route for such a small IDC? i have an 8 month old baby and i feel like ill through anything at this at this point i just want it gone! and im hoping to eventually have another baby lots of wondering and worrying about what lies ahead any insight would be great!!  also what exactly does HER2 +3 mean? thanks ladies!
