I've been on the herceptin for six months and six more to go. I had been taken off for six weeks after I had been on for a month or so since my MUGA went down to 48% but since that time, I've been fine. I had been on A/C prior so it wasn't long after I had the A/C that I started with the herceptin (along with taxol). You have been off for quite some time. So I would think you would not have the problem that the adriamycin causes with the herceptin. I was told here that if you had been off treatment for some time that you would not be given the herceptin. I also read that just 9 weeks of herceptin proved beneficial. I myself am glad I'm on the herceptin to cut the reoccurence down.
