HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - How long does it take the LVEF to recover

I finished my Herceptin in end of Jan. 2007. I started at 65. LVEF was last at 49. My docs. said don't worry about it & that it may never recover. The lowest it went while on Herceptin was 41 & Herceptin was never stopped throughout.
I took it for 52 weeks continuously. I was wondering about it as well & if I
should trust my docs who told me not to be concerned!
