Hi magicmum and Louise for your suggestions. I have been finding this 'break' hard to digest, but am coming to terms with it. You do tend to have to trust the doctors, and my oncologist is very easy to talk to, and willing to answer questions. Just worried about my heart function and how long the break will be. When I had my herceptin this week I asked the nurse about it, and she said I will be closely monitored. So I guess I will have to wait, I am hoping my heart function will not drop any further, then I won't need the break. Always trying to look on the positive side.
Thanks again
Jill
