I developed cardiomyopathy last fall, the result of taking Herceptin (every 3 weeks). After a brief rest (5 weeks), I started up again, only this time weekly. I have had no further problems. My onc has had pretty good success with changing the frequency when problems arise. It's at least worth a try. I'm six weeks away from completing Herceptin.
