stage 1, er/pr negative and node negative

[rinaina]

Are there any Stage 1 er/pr negative and node negative people out there that can share their experiences with me. I have just completed chemo and had my first herceptin treatment, no taxol, the onc said because of being node negative and stage 1 taxol wasn't necessary and he only plans on giving me herceptin for 1 year as long as I don't have any heart problems. Then what? What is my prognosis? Does anyone have and longevity statistics relating to cases like mine? How long after stopping a year of herceptin are you protected? Herceptin doesn't protect the brain so how common is it to get a metastisis to the brain? So many uncertainties to deal with. Thanks for your help.
