Hey, there!
Welcome, and I am sorry you have need to be here!
I am only 35, so fertility issues have been a priority for me. From what I can gather, and this is just from memory, is that Herceptin should not impair your future fertility (based upon what they know now). You should not attempt to get pregnant while you are on it, and for at least six (6) months afterwards.
Did your radiation oncologist tell you wait 18-24 months after treatment before trying to become pregnant? It was in my paperwork, but I have frozen embryos, so they said it wasn't as much of a concern for me. Not to give you anything else to obsess over! Cause I am sure you have enough already!
Take care,
