Hello,
I've also heard that the Herceptin stays in the body for a while so you'll be covered for a while.
Some people, including myself, take co-enzyme Q10 to help with heart issues - I read about taking it on this site. Maybe so some research on it to see if it might help or harm.
I was on Herceptin for 6 years but luckily stayed around 55.
There's lots of news about short doses of Herceptin being as good as longer term.
by the way if your ER+ there's news now that people should take anti-ER drugs (specifically Tamoxifen) for 10 years not 5.
Don't panic, your EF will go back up.
health and happiness
