Hi there,

I had an appointment with my onc yesterday and all weekend I was thinking about the benefits of herceptin but also was thinking about all the side effects I had. I made my decision that I was going to continue my herceptin treatments for another 6 months.

Yesterday, my onc had the results from my echo (and sorry if I don't know what the medical term is for when your hearts functions less) but mine dropped from 69% to 50% so he recommended discontinuing any further herceptin treatments.

How many others out there who had to stop their herceptin treatments because of their heart?

Just wondering if they figured out why some get this problem and so do not
and maybe it's also the reason I had so many other side effects.

Thanks in advance,
