Hysterectomy/ Her2 Pos?

I was diagnosed a year ago with Stage II breast cancer node negative, est/pro -/- and her2 pos. I completed 4 chemos, 6 weeks of radiation and will complete a year of Herceptin in August. I went yesterday to my gynocologist for the yearly check-up and she told me that I need a hysterectomy because the gene can produce an increased risk of developing cancer in the ovaries or cervix. She also said that my daughters should be checked for the her2 gene. My oncologist never said any thing about an increased risk of cervical or ovarian cancer and he also said the the gene is not hereditary. I think the gynocologist might be mistaken; has anyone ever heard this?
