Treatments for BC
Stage 1 BC, doesn't necessarily need a masectomy. Breast Cancers at at Stage 1 most often treated with a lumpectomy, radiation, chemotherapy/hormone therapy. Sometimes depending on the subtype they recommended to have paxilitaxel and herceptin, especially if the person being treated is younger. Oncologists often lean with more aggresive treatments in younger patients because their over all health is better and they have a better chance for better outcomes with this treatment plan. I'm guessing the subtype is Estrogen, progesterone, and HER2 positive? Here is a link to the NCCN guidelines for patients with invasive breast cancer. This is used by oncologists around the United States, this is a patient version to help better them better understand the coarse of treatment and why.

Hope this is helpful!
