Is It Advisable To Take Chemotherapy At This Time?

HI, I have recently (May 5) undergone breast cancer surgery and pronounced cancer free. However, I am HER-2 positive and need to take the shot Herceptin for one year. In order to do that, it has been suggested by my oncologist that I take chemo also. Do you agree with this diagnoses?
