Chemo again?

Just wondering and can't get it out of my mind until my next appointment with my oncologist.......at the beginning of my cancer journey my oncologist had said "Chemo first to shrink and prevent spreading, surgery, radiation for sure, and possibly more chemo at the end, followed by herceptin alone. Okay, had 6 rounds of chemo up front with herceptin which shrink the tumor so well that it showed no activiy on a PET scan and I could have had a lumpectomy, but I chose a masectomy instead. Just had the surgery a week ago and I'm recovering preparing for the weeks of radiation. But I wonder since I responded so well to the chemo will I need any more chemo? My oncologist will tell me eventually, but what do you guys think? Anyone ever had a similar experience? I'll do what I have to but I so hope I don't have to have more chemo since it responded.
