Hi again Johanna! You should ask your onc about having anothe heart scan to see if your heart has recovered from the initial Herceptin regimen. This is often the case and patients can then resume Herceptin, usually with no problems and especially now that AC is far behind you; there's a coorelation between AC + Herceptin = heart damage.
If you do indeed have lung involvement, Herceptin could still be the backbone of your treatment. The other scan I would recommend you ask for if it's available in your area is a PET/CT fusion scan, now considered to be more accurate than either scan alone.
Most of all, chin up...we know this is a scary time but we're here with advice and experience.
