My diagnosis is the same as yours...stage I er/pr- her2+ but I was told that her2+ is a very aggressive form of bc and that I would need chemo as well as herceptin. I thought I remember reading that all her2+ is considered highly risky and chemo is pretty much protocol but I could be wrong. Chemo isn't fun but we all make it through. I for one had a bit of a rough time with it but feel terrific now. Handling herceptin so far very well. Good luck to you.
