Hi Julie, Just a guess, but maybe some oncs. are more concerned about the safety of having surgery while on Herceptin for heart issues. Especially those who are very conservative. I guess it depends on the onc. and how involved the surgery is i.e. amount of time under anesthesia, etc. My surgeon's nurse told me that I could not have any surgery without my onc's permission until I was one year out of chemo. They all have different protocols.
