How Important Is Herceptin Over Chemotherapy For Breast Cancer?

Good morning,Please could you advise me on the following.I have early stage breast cancer, ER and PR and HER2 positive.How important is it to still receive herceptin even after chemo, a double mastectomy and radiation ?There are no traces of cancer anywhere else in my body.Will the cancer not be cut out with surgery and therefore no need for the Herceptin ?
