Patrice,
All is not lost. You have SO many options.
First, though, how big is the lump in your breast and why does your onc not want to remove it? Sounds strange to me.
Second, you cannot take Herceptin and Adriamycin at the same heart because of possible heart reactions. And like many others, I did Adriamycin/Cytoxin and Taxol before my surgery.
Many of us have found that one combo with Herceptin doesn't work while another will. The one that helped my liver the most was Herceptin/Navelbine. Also, know that about 1/3 of women on Herceptin do not have the hoped for remission.
Unless you absolutely love and trust your onc, I'd say get a second opinion. Do you live near a Cancer Treatment Facility? There's no need to jump into a new treatment Monday if you're not ready.
Keep us posted.
Love and light,
Lisa
