I do not know of any trials for us, but my usually conservative onc has recommended Herceptin every 3 weeks for the next year even though I am 18 months past the end of chemo. I am NED, but decided with my onc that the research thus far was good enough to put my veins in peril to hopefully avoid a recurrence. I am ER/PR -, have IBC, had TAC, a double mastectomy and radiation. I am really hoping that the herceptin is the last treatment I will ever need!
