Have you had an ECHO the day after Herceptin?

I've had two mixed up's on my ECHO appt...their fault not mine. It's getting pass due because they keep rescheduling it. So now they just called again (Saturday) and said they can get fit me in this Tues. for my ECHO. But my concern is I have my Herceptin infusion on Monday. I'm not sure if having my ECHO the day after Herceptin is such a good idea?

Has anyone here had their ECHO done the day after Herceptin with no problems? I ususally have my ECHO's two wks after my Herceptin just to play it safe.
