What is a less toxic alternative to Chemo therapy for breast cancer treatment in a woman?

Do some research or talk to a doctor about the drug Herceptin by Genentech. It's a relatively new cancer drug to fight breast cancer and they have seen good success. I'm not sure if it's used in combination or instead of chemo though.

I have heard recently that brachetheropy is now or will be soon a viable solution for breast cancer. It has been used on prostate cancer with astounding success and it is praised for its relatively noninvasive procedure. Also it has less of the chemo side effects if none at all. I am no longer too sure on the particulars so I will list some cource information.
