Dear Cathy,
From wht I understand, an echographie/sonogram or Muga is used to tell if the left ventrical of the heart is functioning well enough to take Herceptin. I hope your heart improves and you can take Herceptin again. Perhaps ask your doctor about coenzyme Q10 or what you can do to help strengthen your heart - it's a worry for all of us.
Good luck
Dear HER2ers,
I tend to get out of breath even when I walk up slight hills or after swimming a few laps. I keep thinking it will improve but it doesn't seem to. I've been taking about 150mgs of coenzyme Q10 which supposedly helps the heart and I'm wondering if I should increase it. I'd be curious if anyone else has had these problems and been able to resolve them and how. I'm just over 2 years on Herceptin and Femara.
thanks
sarah
