Janet,
Your story is very similar to mine except I received 6 mo. of Herceptin. I also was getting a tx when midway through they came in and shut if off. My EF went down to 43%. Had a follow up Echo that was borderline normal. Cardiologist wanted to put me on Vasotec, but I didn't really see the need for more meds since I also was asymptomatic. Will have another Muga in 4 mo. Both cardiologist and oncologist said no more Herceptin since I was stage 1. Let me know what your oncologsit recommends.
