Hi Susan,
Like you, my cancer was Er-, Pr-, node negative, and HER2+++.
I was diagnosed when I was 29, in July 2005.
Since then, I've had a lumpectomy, 6 rounds of FEC chemo, 6 weeks of radiotherapy, and am now coming up to my 6th (3 weekly) dose of Herceptin.
None of the treatments were as bad as I expeced them to be, though I was very scared about the unknown (aren't we all?).
In my experience so far, Herceptin has been very easy.. no side effects like I had with chemo (although I got away quite lightly with that, too).
I do still get scared about what the future may hold, but it's honestly not as bad as things were early on.. and I'm told it gets better!
Love & hugs,
Dee
