Lisa,

I continued my herceptin for 18 months, stopping just this month. As a stage III, my onc agreed to keep me on until we had some info on two year studies. Now that info is coming out that two years does not show a statistically significant benefit, we have stopped and I am perfectly comfortable with that decision. So for now, one year would be the standard for early stage.
