Hi Jessica: Many people who have posted here have said that if your heart ejection fraction decresses, if you take a short break from herceptin it will give the heart a chance to repair itself. After your heart has recovered you can resume taking herceptin. I experienced heart damage from taking herceptin too soon after getting A/C. It only took about 6 weeks after I stopped herceptin for my heart to get back to normal. I didn't go back on herceptin because I am only at Stage III and my Onc. wants to save it in case of disease progression. (I'm not sure I agree with him but I've been NED for the last year so I am not pushing it.) Hope this helps, Linda
