herceptin how far from treatment

Hi all,I'm meeting my new oncologist tomorrow my old Dr. retired without much notice last month. I am almost 3 years out from original diagnosis and 2 years from treatment 4 a/c 35 rads and tamoxifen for 5 years. I wasn't offered herceptin back then and when it did become available my onc said he would not recomend it for me. I had 1.3 cm idc no nodes er/pr+ her2+++. I am wondering if I should try for herceptin now or if you all think it is to late? Also what tests should I be asking for My onc didn't even order blood work at my visits I worry that I may have cancer other places and not know it. I lost a dear friend this summer to multiple myleoma she only lived 6 weeks from dx.I am scared because we had the same oncoloy group and I think that they are just too busy and people slip through the cracks . My group is connected to Dana Farber but I don't know to what extent I am thinking that I should go to Boston and wonder if anyone on the board had any recomendations ?

thanks leslie
