Oh my Robyn, I'm so sorry to hear what you've been through. That is just awful and I'm glad you're on the other side of it now.
As for herceptin alone, I'm no expert, but I imagine your Onc can monitor how your respond to H as a single agent using scans, and maybe blood tests. It seems preferable to see if it works alone, before adding chemo. Sounds like you've been through enough.
Good luck,
Jen
