The context of Dr Slamon's speech was to reflect on how the initial timetable for Herceptin use came about... he did not mean it as a joke - just pointing out the nebulous realm of cancer treatment. Obviously the other tandem drugs were part of the mix. Hence the trial.
Most of us (including myself) had it for a year.
The point being made is that no matter the length, there is still no "mark" on when to end Herceptin tx --of course cardio issues are a telling part---
My feeling is that as long as it shows a benefit- then keep on!
