The weight in the mid section is from the Herceptin and now that you are off it you should lose it. I lost 15 pounds within 6 weeks after stopping it all around the waist area. Felt so much better!! That maybe, another reason for feeling the way you do and the fatigue. Your CHF is mild and you should be o.k. with plenty of rest and exercise. It should be up the your cardiologist whether you should consider more Herceptin. Lolly is right you can take a month break and then maybe, finish up. Wishing you well and keep us posted. hugs, Sandy
