Me too, ER/PR - Her2 + stage 3a, 9 cm. tumor and close to 8 lymph nodes involved. Near complete response after neoadjuvant chemo and lymph nodes all clear. It will be 4 years this coming January. Like some of the gals said, I would highly recommend a vaccine as well. I received one at MD Anderson in Texas. I traveled many miles and am thankful every single day that I had the opportunity to get it. It is not to say that vaccines are the cure but it is one more thing you could do and they are quite safe. You might want to do a little investigating as I do know that some of the vaccines do not want you to be past 6 months since your last Herceptin. My vaccine was given in tandem with Herceptin but most are after you have completed your 1 year. Take care and we are here, us Her2 positve only girls.
