Hi Brenda: When my LVEF dropped to 49 from starting out at 63, I had to quit herceptin, but after 6 months and going on some meds, it's back in the high 50's again, so mine was reversible. I was dissapointed not being to finish one year of herceptin, but I did get 8 months in, and the dr's assured me that they are finding the 6 months of herceptin is probably as good as 1 year. I feel fine now, and I'm even done with the heart med.
