Her-2 and hormone therapy?

I am looking for feedback, or statistics from other “survivors” that are Her-2 positive that have done – Chemo, Herceptin and radiation …. And wondering how many of them have not developed cancer – without doing hormone therapy.

I am not convinced that hormone therapy will reduce my chances (as Her-2 positive) of getting cancer again. However, I have found it hard to find any hard statistics that are based on just HER-2 positive cancer and how it reacts to hormone therapy.

I keep reading this scary quote in so many of the clinical papers that says the “5 year survival rate”… ugh! I want to live more than 5 years!!! J Seems like the drug companies like to base everything on a 5 year life – and that is not acceptable – and I want to have quality of life --- not a life based around the hospital (like the last 6 months of my life!) and not taking more drugs….

Anyone have any feedback on this one? Thank you so much in advance!!!
