Post-treatment options for ER/PR- Stage 3

Joe recently posted a question on a different thread entitled "Need Long Term Herceptin Use Info" and I have a related question.

My history is below, within my signature; after my primary chemo/radiation treatment, I did one year of Herceptin alone--triple doses every three weeks. I didn't think that there were any viable options for me after that, so rather than continue without any preventative measures, I decided to do a triple dose of Herceptin every three months for an indefinite period of time.

Is anyone else who was stage 3 and ER/PR negative doing this or something different post-treatment? If you are doing something different, what are you doing and why did you choose this?

thanks!
Val
