You could tell your onc what you learned here from others who have taken herceptin quite some time after finishing chemo. There are some people who have commented that their oncologists called them and suggested starting the chemo, even though their treatments were long past.

She may have said it was too late to do any good because in truth I don't think anyone knows for certain how Herceptin will work for those who receive it so late. But yet many oncs agree that there may be much benefit from trying the herceptin even at a late date. It is certainly a gamble that many are willing to take.
