I found an interesting applicable link concerning late Herceptin featuring Dr. Love , Fox and Winer. I will post this link below. Basically, they discuss the idea of late Herceptin. Looks like they state that 33% relapse in the first few years. Supposedly they base their decision for no herceptin based on that fact. However, a 66% relapse rate remains which could be significant not only in the short 10 year survival stats but the longer 20 year stats.

try the below link for the direct case, otherwise use the above link and look at case 1

According to Dr. Miller of Breastcancer.org, ER-negative have a higher rate of recurrences in the first FIVE YEARS after diagnosis, but the long-term prognosis is comparable with ER-positive tumors.

According to "Adjuvant Systmeic Therapy for Lymph Node negative Breast Cacner less than or Equal to 1cm," 66% of bc relapse is in the first 10 years and 33% in years 11-20.
