Re: Please post your two cents on Herceptin "side effects" real or perceived!

Hi
I have had five doses of Herceptin once every three weeks and am now in congestive heart failure. Herceptin has been stopped and Im now on heart meds Tritace. Started last week. I had a heart echo back in March this year before I started Chemo. I had 4 doses of Chemo from 5th March to 14th May. I started Herceptin on 4th June. My cancer clinic failed to tell me of another heart echo to be done in August. So I was fitted in for the 8th Sept and the result is heart failure. I am very worried about this and hope all will be okay. Cancer clinic says the damage will reverse in a couple of months, my doctor says hes not sure about that.
I would appreciate some comments about this
