Absolutely do it at the same time - there is reserach that shows that with Her2 rads don't always work and with herceptain it has a much better chnace. Both my oncologists insisted I do it this way and in fact would not let me go on the once every three weeks until three weeks past the last rad treatment b/c radiation stays in yourbody for about two weeks.

hope this helps
