Berta;
I am so sorry to hear of your aunt. It is also shocking to me. I had AC and Taxol and began my herceptin treatments during the last taxol. I am one of those unfortunates who has developed heart problems. Although my muga score is now 52 vs 42 when taken off herceptin I remain off herceptin due to an enlarged heart....which means it is a weak muscle. Because my tumor was on my left side and I still feel that side I really can't tell if it's my heart or the lumpectomy or radiation leftover I feel. I worry about having the same problem as your aunt. Did your aunt have any symptoms that you know of. I know you said you watch for swelling but is that because it is what she had? Also, it seems to me to be insensitive of me to be asking these questions and I apologize. Take care, watch for symptoms, be tested and take care.
Cathy
