Hi Liz
I have a similar diagnosis as you. Early stage BC, stage 1, grade 1, er+, pr+, her2 +. no family history. My oncologist here in New Zealand and those he has consulted with all agreed that treatment (chemo/herceptin) is not necessary given it is early stage, I've had my breast removed and no nodes (17) affected. I was prescribed tamoxifen however I had terrible side effects and made the decision with my oncologist to stop taking it. I too have struggled, as everything you read about her2 states about its agressiveness. Seek as many opinions as you can and ask many questions so that your treatment is best option for your BC.Take care
Sandra
