Hi Anita,
I'm late to this thread but still wanted to add my voice to the chorus: my partner Rachel did radiation simultaneous with radiation and had no negative effects that we can tell. We actually pushed for this treatment plan because at least a couple of small studies have suggested that herceptin may work as a "radiosensitizer"--that is, it may enhance the effects of radiation (as your oncologist seems to be aware of).
The only thing to think about is if the radiation is on your left side you want to be especially careful about having your heart checked every few months.
Good luck!
Jeff
