Taking herceptin for over one year is all new to me. My onc and our friend who in an onc both said maximum one year. Is this a trial where you stay on longer? Are there studies or were there studies on the safety of staying longer? Is there is research to prove that staying on longer is that much more helpful after a year of being treated with herceptin? I am very confused over this herceptin use after one year of treatment. Also when I complete 3 more chemos with A/C I will be getting herceptin but not with taxol like so many of you. I was node negative stage1 grade3 1.4cm tumor clean margins, er/pr-.
