I think I personally would endure one last treatment, it would put my mind at ease. I had no lymph node involvement, but herceptin wasn't an option at the time of my original treatment. You at least have that added benefit, which is a big one. No one can tell you what to do. It is really between you and your family and doctor. We can only give you our personal feelings. Good luck to you.
