Re: Side effects from Herceptin only (after 6 TCH)?

Hi daugher1...

I spoke/saw my oncologist yesterday...he is going to have a heart moniter on me while I receive my next Herceptin infusion.

At this point, I'm wondering if it is an accumulative effect that leads up to the possible severe Herceptin side efffects...

It is my prayer that this was a one time episode with me as I know Herceptin is my/our saving Grace!!

Keep us updated about you mother!! Hang in there...prayers your way!!!
