bjj,
If you are her2 positive and no ER positive, and if your heart LVEF (left Ventricular Ejection Factor) is about 60%, I believe you will be OK for Herceptin trials. Nothing to worry. Ask your Onc to get in touch with a well-known Onc in US to discuss, and then get on a Herceptin trial ASAP. Get some help to do a computer search in the herceptin trials website given by Joe in this group.
Note: I thought you may need help on LVEF, so added this. I did only echocardiagrams for LVEF, which is easier and safe. By MUGA, it may be a bit laborious. It is your or your Onc's choice
Wish you all the best.
