Kelly,
Just did some addtional checking and found something intereting which may give you some additional peace of mind.

I read that it is not unusual for there to be a spike as a result of dying cancer cells spilling their contents into the bloodstream. Since you recently completed herceptin maybe that is a reason.

Enjoy Christmas - You earned it!
Hugs,
Jean
