I thought studies were showing different results for Her2+. If you are 5 years out and received Herceptin, even if you are ER+, the liklihood that you will recur is close to 0. I see my onc in a month and will ask since I would prefer to go off of it. The side effects of long term estrogen deprivation may outweigh the benefits for Her2+ women if the stats do show a different recurrence pattern for Her2+. If anyone has other information or studies to share that support or contradicts this, please let us know.
