I was just taken off Herceptin, too. I went in for my treatment a week ago and my ejection fraction had dropped 10 points. I am going in this Friday for another echo (it will be 9 weeks since the last one) and I see my onc a week later for the results and to discuss our plan. I guess this is where I decide if at this point, the risk outweighs the benefit for my stage 1 diagnosis. I have had 12 treatments and I have 6 more to go. I just don't know what to do.
I also wanted to mention that I am having some swelling with my right hand, too and my lumpectomy was on my left side. I had an MRI in September (not because of my hand, other issues) and all was good. I am sure you will have good results, too. I am also having issues with my joints (swollen) from Aromasin. I always say to my husband, "aren't I a heap of fun, with this ache here and that ache there".
Take care,
Karen
