One more opinion I'll throw out. I went through the same concern over 2 years ago when I went off herceptin. When will HERA release results? Frustrating we don't have any more information than we do know. However, I know LOTS of women who were dx'd in 2003 and 2004 that were stage IIIA or later, and only had herceptin for a year, and most of them are doing fine now (myself included). I know your struggle....but at the same time the finnish study showed a few months of herceptin seems to have the same benefit as a year.
