I am also stage 1 multi focal and no node or vascualr incovement but her2 3+ and strongly er (80) and pr (70) + . I started Herceptain last week w/out chemo and currently taking tomaxefen as well as luprene injections. I have my first radiation appt. next week. My oncologists who beleong to major new york city cancer center said that for radiation to work well, I needed to take the herceptain at the same time. So far handling all well - first dose of Herceptain was really hard butr all symptoms disappeared the next morning. Good Luck to you and I hope this helps
