Speaking of second opinions, most insurance providers will PAY for a second opinion from a qualified professional. I have had more than one second opinion, even a THIRD opinion before starting my adjuvent treatment for breast cancer.
If your doc does not understand your need for a second opinion, then he /she may not be worth the powder to blow them up (so to speak).
As Esther says, what experience/advice/opinion/research spoken of on this board is a starting point and it is for each of us to take what interests us and go from there to see what may apply to our own case/life.
There is an ADVISORY BOARD of medical professional attached to HER2 support.org. These are the people we should be going to for questions of a medical nature.
