So true about the lack of post Herceptin stats... I was just talking about this last week with my onc. when I had my regular visit - he said," Caryn we don't have long term stats yet for your subtype of BC - Her2+ (early stagers treated with Herceptin). On top of that you are triple positive, only about 2.5-3% of the entire BC population." We will be the future stats - and I'm betting on longer term survival rate, which went up in Canada as well.

all the best
