Hi Rejoice,

Glad you found us but sorry you have reason to be here. We will try to help you get through this as best as we can.

So far your path report doesn't sound too bad, and it's good that you started chemo. Have you had surgery? Do you know the size of your tumor?

There are several ways to improve your ejections fraction, so hopefully that will enable you to have herceptin in the future. I just read on another list that even a few doses of herceptin will give you excellent protection, so perhaps that will be the best way for you. For now the chemo will start mopping up those pesky cancer cells.
