I've had 8 months of Herceptin and had to stop once due to mugascan results. Just had another mugascan and my oncologist has stopped me from taking Herceptin for good. My ejection fraction dropped from 66% to 47%. Anyone else have this problem? Have to go for another mugascan in 30 days to see if my heart flow has returned to normal. Oncologist said the risk for stroke and heart attack out weighs the benefits of Herceptin.
