Tricia-
First I have to say I'm surprised that your onc. doesn't educate himself more on Herceptin! This drug is so widely used now, it's helped so many people. My mom has been battling cancer for 24 years, sounds like you guys are in the same boat. She was on Herceptin since 2000. She had to take a break because they said it weakened the heart muscle. Which meant the blood wasn't being pumped as efficiently as before. They used a MUGA scan to test her heart. After she took a break the heart strengthened back up and she could take it again. You can probably get more informed about Herceptin on the web. There's so much information out there.
More people will see you posts if you click on "Message Boards" then on Her2group. I was amazed at how much information I got off this website. These people really know what they're talking about! You can learn alot.
Take care Tricia,
Penny
