I just read you are Stage II and realized that you also just finished chemo... No wonder you want a vacation from Herceptin!
We all talk about QOL and this perhaps may be time for you to assess your options. We all know that kicking cancer in the rump while its down (especially after chemo) is the best way to rid oneself of the disease... and Herceptin helps that process.
If all Stage I's were told it was OK to get Herceptin up to 1 year after chemo, I can't imagine that a 3 month hiatus between treatments would make a huge difference either.
Obviously this is something that you will want to discuss with your onc.

Hang in there!
