Marie,

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing heart problems. It would be scary to drop Herceptin.

I have not had reduced EF. In fact mine is high enough (and it increased between echocardiograms) to have me wondering if EF can become too high--possibly the opposite of your problem, and I have no idea if Herceptin or something else cancer-related or treatment-related might be to blame.

I hope they get your situation sorted out soon.

Amy
