I was on herceptin before I got bone mets but 6 mos into treatment I was hospitalized with congestive heart failure & almost died. I was supposed to be 0n it for a year. It was scarier than the chemo I went thru. The 2nd hospital stay was from a toxic reaction to one of the heart meds. I will forever be stuck with the unenviable title of having CHF. So much for that. My fav song now is "staying alive"
Am on the newest cocktail of Xeloda/tykerb. Hopeful.
