My mom has been on Tamoxifen for 15 YEARS... she had 3 different types of BC in one breast, had a mastectomy and 19 lymph nodes removed of which 13 were positive. She always asks why she still is on the Tamoxifen...the oncologist tells her that she has never had a recurrence, so why not stay on it...she is 76 years old and has had no problems. As for Herceptin, my oncologist told me if it continues to do its thing, I will be on it at least 5 1/2 years, and possibly 7...
I only can hope I have the longevity my Mom has had.
Hugs
Sheila
