Aurey, I know what you mean. It is scary to think of not having the Herceptin even though we experience side effects from it. I am sorry that you are having heart troubles. I have seen posts that indicate stopping Herceptin for awhile helps the heart get back to normal and then sometimes they resume Herceptin. Maybe that will be the case for you.

I wish you the best. Hugs
