You are ER/PR pos. so that is why you are on a hormone. I am not aware of anyone going on Herceptin after the first year and especially three years out. Usually, if one is going to reoccur it will happen within the first year although not always and that is the reason for using the Herceptin for early stage. I don't know how old you are and if you can change to a different hormone. It will depend on you menopause status. Something to ask you oncologist or get a second opinion. Wishing you well, hugs, Sandy
