Question Herceptin without chemo studies-need info!

Does anyone know of any published reliable studies of the "effectivness" of Herceptin without chemo? Especially for for early stage breast cancer. I am seeing my oncologist on Thursday, May 15th this doctor told me that she does fell comfortable giving Herceptin alone without reliable studies. She will not entertain chemo for me. (I don't need another opinion, I've already had 10 oncologist opinions and 1 radiation oncologist opinion who all say no chemo/Herceptin for me because they all feel that the risks outweigh the benefits for me). This doctor is known to be agressive in treatment and open minded if I can show her proof. She told me to bring in any studies to the appt., if I can find any.... I'll be done with radiation on May 20th and am starting to feel very anxious/nervous if I did enough despite what every doctor I've consulted with told me. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.
Liz
