I am on Herceptin every 3 weeks. I had 14 months of chemo for liver mets. Once my liver showed NED, I opted for recon. I had the expander surgery without a problem. But for the exchange surgery, I now have a staph infection in the incision on my left side, and it has been trying to heal for almost 2 months. The reason for the slow healing is apparently because of my weakened immune system from all of the chemo that I had. And there is also slower healing since I had rads on that side.
But none of my Doctors indicated that Herceptin was a problem as long as my blood counts were okay.
