I am an anomaly, being weakly HER2+, but strongly ER+/PR+.

Similar path report to your own, but menopausal at dx. What is your meno status, Snufi? This comes into the equation.

I am three years out, having done neither chemo nor herceptin. My stats for recurrence within 10 years were taken from Adjuvant Online - 3% if I were HER2 - and 6% since I am positive. My case was put before a professor of oncology here in the UK who agreed with my limited treatment (surgery, rads and hormonal tx).

Try to get a more detailed response from your onc. Everything has to be factored in, and if you're not happy, get your case referred.
