Alaska Angel,
I would go and have a MRI done, if this has lasted more than 2 weeks.
My onc is not much in favor of the tumor markers or scans, but they are important to me. She is going to start CA 27-29 and CE-15. I looked up what was the best kind and though there were lots of studies, none particuraly pertained to HER2. Not surprising. The one I found said that CA27-29 had a better read on recurs for bone than CE-15 and CE-15 was good for local recurs. The CA 27-29 (in this study) said they caught the cancer on an average of 3 months before symptoms set in.
I am just starting out of my protective haven with Herceptin and will have the 3 month check ups for 2 years. Since you are out 2, I would hope someone is checking you out at least every 6 months. Are you seeing your internist every 6? I would ask them to continue running TM's and having a physical and chest and mams.
I hope that the feeling in your head is nothing more than some weird feeling, but as everyone says, stay in touch with your body and gut instincts. Take Care AA. K
