Dear skoolmom,
It isn't the herceptin that is hard on the heart but herceptin + AC in presence of the TOPO2 alteration. Some women have shown significant drop after 2 cycles so given your results, I wouldn't worry. As far as HER2 tests go, the Bayer HER2 serum test is the one which will do what you are asking. Ask your onc about it.
Good luck,
Al
