    I started my Herceptin treatments on 9/14/07.  I will need 52 treatments.  I am scheduled for mast and DIEP on 11/19---is it safe to be on Herceptin when you face such a long, detailed surgery?  I am concerned about the heart thing.  Anyone on Herceptin while going through surgery?   Thanks

    Hi Kim,

    I started Herceptin treatments in April and had Diep surgery in August. I was also concerned, but my PS, BS and my oncologist told me it was okay. I was fine with the 12 hour surgery.
