Herceptin after Masectomy?

Herceptin after Masectomy?

My tumor was HER2 positive with negitive nodes . I had a bilateral Mastecomy with Diep Flap reconstuction.  Is there still a possiblity to get Cancer in other places due to the Her2 involvment?  Do you recommend Herceptin as a treatment?
Thanks
