I am new to this site and have been on Herceptin since August 2007. Has anyone had problems during surgery while on Herceptin? I had a double mastectomy with reconstruction and my body temperature dropped very low during surgery. I need another surgery and the surgeon wants to wait until 2 months after my last treatment which won't be until November. I wanted to get the surgeries over with this year. My oncologist doesn't think the herceptin should cause any problems during surgery.
