I don't know if there is a protocol yet as it was approved last month. You have IDC which means some cancer cells could be circulating looking for somewhere else to create havoc. Herceptin has few side effects but only works for about half of HER+. Your grade may tell you if you should persue more treatment. Get more opinions. The downside is they might want to combine it with a chemo agent to make it more effective. Only you can decide. If you can get Herceptin alone, I would do it. I think I would do it also if you had to do it with taxol.
Also if you are ER/PR neg, you have more limited treatment options, which would make Herceptin look like a very good choice. Good luck, BB
