Her positive 4 mm

Hi All, I had a DCIS recurrence and they found a 4 mm invasive part too which is her positive . I had a mastectomy. They are saying that chemotherapy and herceptin is not needed due to the size of it but I am really worried that it is being under treated. Does anyone know what size it has to be to then be offered chemotherapy and herceptin?
