That is interesting, I've heard of being on Herceptin for 2 years and a few stories of longer than that. It would be awesome, if it could be taken to keep the little buggers at bay. I've heard that some of the side effects with Tykerb can be pretty dreadful in some people and so far the Herceptin seems to have little to none...

Take care
