Wow I'm glad I found this thread! I just asked my PS if I can have Stage 2 revision surgery to my new "foob" and he said, not until I finish with the Herceptin txs which won't be until April of '09. My PS is afraid of problems with the heart - even if my Muga score is OK. So I'm happy to hear that he's just being overly-cautious. I don't mind waiting for my Stage 2 (because I'm hoping to lose weight before that) - but I may need my gall bladder removed if it acts up (I have two stones), so this information gives me more peace-of mind, thanks ladies!
