Tumor markers can rise and fall from time to time even when there is no evidence of tumors. Some tumor markers measure the amount of circulating cancer cells in the blood even when there is no firm evidence of a tumor.
You may want to discuss other non chemo options with your doctor like Tykerb that are in the same category as Herceptin if you are worried about Herceptin not doing its job well.
Please feel free to visit this site whenever you can. We are a wonderful bunch of people who care about each other.
