Hmmm. The doctors can't give you a 100% assurance that no cancer cells are somewhere in your body. Even if the odds are 97% that you won't recur, someone is in the 3%. How much risk are you comfortable with? You have one shot at being cured. That's now. If it recurs, you have to live with it. I don't know what kind of insurance you have, but if they will cover Herceptin, I'd at least consider it.
