Re: Heart Problems
Dear Kimsmo,
If you search the site using the search function up near the top of the page, you'll find several other threads about heart troubles. They do tend to resolve and may not recur when you have herceptin again. The echocardiogram is the test to rely on. The medications used depend on your symptoms and your doctor's preferences. Keeping your haemoglobin up with iron and vitamins through diet or supplements will reduce symptoms.
Hope it all goes well.
