I agree with John, a PET/CT asap. If these are indeed mets, you can't sit around for 3 months letting them spread further. Many here have successfully dealt with lung mets. Navelbine/Herceptin is a great combo for this, and given your break from Herceptin these last 3 months, it's quite likely your heart muscle has recovered (this has also happened to several here) and you can resume Herceptin. If the heart is still compromised, and you're dealing with mets, you can also ask to see a cardiologist who should be able to get you on some meds which will stabilize the heart and allow you to resume Herceptin(again, this too has been the case with several who've posted here; this site is wonderful that way!).
I think your instincts are correct in wanting to know sooner rather than later. Please keep us posted.
