Thank you all for your replies. I just went to oncologist today and had my Herceptin. I have decided that I am going to take 3 weeks off and then do the 3 week Herceptin. My oncologist did try and talk me into not taking a break but she couldn't convince me.
I also had an HER2 Serum test done today -- first one. I'll be anxious to see the results as my tumor markers have been in the normal range (15.3) and my latest PET/CT scan was good.
