Herceptin and surgery

To all the Her 2+ girls out there. Did anyone undergo surgery whilst on Herceptin. I had a right mastectomy in Oct. Had AC and started Herceptin 2 weeks ago. My oncolgy surgeon told me he would not do it until I was off herceptin as there is the chance of wound healing issues. If he wasn't so damn cute I'd have punched him. Noone told me this before I started the treatment.

He is happy to put a port in but not do the mastectomy!!! I hope my PS will do my expander replacement whilst on Herceptin I will be totally pissed off if I have to stay lob-sided for a year. If that is the case I will punch HIM. Cute or NOT!!!

Jxxxx
