I was on Herceptin for HER2...it worked great also but a side effect of that med can affect your heart (although I am fine and did OK)...ask if this new drug they want to give you has this side effect...if not, it might be a better choice
Any new drug can have side effects (some not showing up til years later) but usually any severe ones would have shown up during the clinical trials...so it's always a risk, you just have to weigh the risks versus the benefits...maybe get as much info as you can about it so you can make an informed decision
Best of luck...let us know how you do on it
