How awful! This is crazy. I would call your oncologist's office to see if he or she can help. Maybe Genentech could help you with the costs until you get the decision overturned. They have various patient assistance programs. You might also try posting on the bcmets.org board. Maybe someone there has an idea. It seems to be standard practice to stay on Herceptin, so it seems CVS is out of line. Isn't the decision up to the insurance company? I would call them, too.
