Hi Sara, no I didn't have to stop Herceptin, even when I was in heart failure my Left Ventricle was still above 50% so it has never been a problem. My problem was getting out of one hospital to get my treatment at the other so I missed about 2 weeks. I keep the antibiotic Keflex in the cupboard at all times, if I have the slightest inclingling that something is a miss I take 2 stratight away and if necessary I will see the doctor but usually a course of them gets rid of it, I told my onc that it is a drug that covers a multitude of complaints, so he keeps giving me the scripts when I need them, so does my doc. I had a lot of bladder infection on some of the chemos, so it was better to get on top of it before it got unbearable. Hope this helps.
Love & Hugs Lyn
