Helen, after being NED on weekly maintenance Herceptin from August 2001 to March 2002, I had my first 3 weekly dose of Herceptin April 1, 2002 and had a right prophalactic mastectomy on April 10 with no complications, then my second 3 weekly dose on April 29. My surgeon was adamant that I needed to have Herceptin in my system to help prevent spread while I healed from surgery.

Perhaps liver resection, being obviously a more serious surgery, is different. But I'd like to know what others did who've had liver resection.
