I asked my onc and together we decided one year was enough. I sat with our decision for a couple of weeks before I felt it was the right decision. Dx'd 4/03, 1.4 cm, sentinel node pos. rest neg., er-pr-, her2+++. There wasn't any hera data available and I knew there wouldn't be for months. I had originally thought I would stay on it forever but grew tired of the port, mugas every 3 months and IVs every 3 weeks. We did a brain MRI, bone scan and CT/pet scan before I had the port removed....wanted to be sure nothing had slipped past the lumpectomy, chemo, radiation and herceptin. So far so good. I think it is a very personal decision and wish you the best with your decision.
best,
tami
