Hi:

I am stage IIB and I am on my second year of Herceptin. My oncologist readily agreed to the second year when I asked and my insurance is paying for the second year. I too believe that Herceptin is to HER2 what Arimidex, etc. is to Hormone positve BC and that maybe five years would be benefical as most re-occurences happen in the first five years.
