Dear Shannon,
I would really say - go with the Herceptin. Except for the inconvenience of going in and getting the IV (probably 90 minutes each time) you will in all likelihood feel NO side effects, no hair loss, no appetite loss, no energy drop, no nausea, nothing, except for possibly some sniffles. Plus, knowing you are getting this targetted therapy will make it much easier to sleep, much easier to feel confident that you are doing what has to be done to banish the cancer.
Of course one is loathe to go back to the hospital every week, I disliked that too, but it is really worth it. When you go in you will feel like a well person, just getting some good stuff, not like a cancer patient getting, basically and unavoidably, some poison.
