Exclusion Criteria:
Patients eligible for this study must not meet any of the following criteria:
1. Pregnant or lactating women. Women of childbearing potential not using a reliable and appropriate contraceptive method. Postmenopausal women must have been amenorrhoeic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential. Patients will agree to continue the use of acceptable form of contraception for 7 months from the date of last drug administration (Herceptin).
2. Patients with distant metastasis
3. Serious, uncontrolled, concurrent infection(s).
4. Patients who have received more than 4 weeks of tamoxifen therapy for this malignancy. Patient who have received tamoxifen or raloxifene for purposes of chemoprevention (e.g. Breast Cancer Prevention Trial or for other past indications (including previous breast cancer) are eligible. Tamoxifen or raloxifene therapy will be discontinued at least one month before the patient is enrolled on this study.

6. Participation in any investigational drug study within 4 weeks preceding the start of study treatment
7. Other serious uncontrolled medical conditions that the investigator feels might compromise study participation including but not limited to chronic or active infection, HIV-positive patient, uncontrolled hypertension, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, uncontrolled Diabetes mellitus, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
8. Unwillingness to participate or inability to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study
9. Patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2-negative) disease
10. History of documented heart failure or systolic dysfunction (LVEF \< 50%), High-risk uncontrolled arrhythmias ie, atrial tachycardia with a heart rate \> 100/min at rest, significant ventricular arrhythmia (ventricular tachycardia) or higher-grade Atrioventricular (AV)-block (second degree AV-block Type 2 \[Mobitz 2\] or third degree AV-block),
11. Angina pectoris requiring anti-anginal medication,
12. Clinically significant valvular heart disease
13. Poorly controlled hypertension (eg, systolic \> 180 mm Hg or diastolic \> 100 mm Hg)
