Faye,
There are many long term survivors of Her2+ BC, quite a few members of this board, and as Linda says so many new treatments on the horizon. If you have finished standard treatment, it would be worth trying to get into a clinical trial involving Herceptin or one of the new vaccines, to hopefully prevent a recurrence, or push to receive Herceptin now. I had a dx very similar to yours, and unfortunately had a recurrence; I am on Herceptin maintenance dose and in remission now. This site is your lifeline to cutting edge research and treatment, and your chances of surviving to see your children grow up are very good. You must become an advocate for yourself, if you keep in mind that you want to live for your children it's not so daunting. Prayers are with you...
Lolly
