Hi - My husband has tried all hormonal treatments. His only chance is Herceptin on a weekly basis. However, we are still concerned about his heart for at one time he had a low ejection fraction of 37. It is higher now, but the Oncologist said once it was low it is not a good idea. The only supplements we do is juicing carrots, broccoli, beets, apples, drink grape juice and a few things like that. He doesn't know whether to take the chance of heart failure with Herceptin and shorten his life from treatment or continue on with nothing since he feels fine. It is a very hard decision. Thank you for asking. Idi
