I have very similar situation to yours; Just finished my year of herceptin (actually a treatment short due to
large decrease in my EF) I asked my onc about staying on longer anyway and he said no way....I have information from a friend of a friend in Boston (I live in Florida) who is in a trial for tykerb due to cardiotoxicity from herceptin) but I am not sure whether or not she has mets...my oncologist said she must be stage four because he knows of no trials for tykerb otherwise....I have done some limited searching on the net and have only come up with trials for tykerb for met. breast cancer....I too feel the urgency to continue with some form of maintenance because I know of other women with similar protocols and staging who have become metastatic after just 3 months off of the herceptin....
