Marcia,
very interesting you are asking. I had a elevated ANA for 10 years before dx. I had 3 miscarriages in earlies 1990's. My ANA has been high every since. I did all the testing like you, and the only thing that has been high is the ANA. I think there is some connection with pos. ANA and getting breast cancer. I don't think it is the Herceptin. Why did they check a ANA on you? The funny thing is that when i was in the vaccine trial after i was done Herceptin my ANA titer went back to normal. Figure that. After my last vaccine injection is was a little high again. I went to rheumitologist and everything and they couldn't find anything either.
