Hello, Anyone in here can advise what treatment need to do? Chemo + Herceptin ? Any other suggestion?

Current situation and test results as below —
1 Breast ductal carcinoma in situ with micro-invasion
2 ER/PR Negative
3 HER2 strong positive
4 mastectomy has been performed
5 No lymph node metastasis
6 Her2 is in situ cancer, not in FIC

What grade?

I initially had a positive HER2 test from biopsy, but after surgery, it was equivocal and then with further testing, negative. I was told that the DCIS part of my cancer was more likely to be positive.

I think it really helps to get a second or even third opinion. My second opinion MS commented on how well she knew my first opinion doc, so I got a third opinion! There may also be a tumor board that can give their recommendation.

Especially with a mastectomy done (any radiation?) there may be options. I really don't know. But I would ask doctors what your options are and what they recommend, and hearing it from more than one doc can help you feel committed to your treatment and/or feel reassured about your choice.
