"I was told about Herceptin and heart failure. Everytime I discussed Herceptin...the dr. would shout out the fatal side effects of herceptin...and this was just back in 2005...."

Yep, my "late" oncologist gave me the same song and dance about Herceptin--meanwhile he was very strongly pushing AC!!! As if there were no side affects to them!
