@nina995 this is a pretty complicated question. There are a lot of factors involved in making the best decision. The her2+ test does add a different level of conversation about chemo. There is a conversation where you can connect with some her2+ patients. Her2+ anyone else;

HER2+ makes things more complicated. I had a mistaken diagnosis of HER2+ from biopsy, and had already bought a wig for chemo hair loss, when the post-surgical tests came back HER2-.
Your results were apparently after surgery, so more reliable. There are special meds for HER2 in addition to chemo. Talk to your doc and if you need to, another doc. It helps to get opinions. Treatment feels more tolerable, I think, when you are sure about it and are committed. Good luck!
