Christine,
On top of your treatment it sounds to me as if you a coping magnificently.
And chemo and herceptin are so powerful why should they not impact on all sorts of things, including mental alertness. Just flu tiredness or stress can fuzz the brain so why not chemo and herceptin, and by the sounds of it you have it all.
I know I witter on about fats, DHA etc but if you have not looked at the subject you might like to. The fatty acid sythase pathways are cropping up more and more, and maybe part of the effect of these treatments is blocking them which could account for shortages in the brain etc. Its an idea that is based on not much more than a wiff in fresh air but if there is anything in it some DHA in the diet maybe two grams a days might help ensure your body is supplied.
As usual dietary changes should be discussed with your advisors.
Don't be too hard on yourself,
RB
