Herceptin & Heart Issues
Hello:
My sister Pattie was told today that due to heart issues she is going to have to stop taking Herceptin after only being on it for 6 months. Obviously this is very upsetting for her and I am looking for words of encouragement to try and share.
The main thing I would love to give her is some peace of mind. Does anyone remain NED after only being on Herceptin for 6 months?
For some background info, Pattie was diagnosed 10/07 with 2 tumors in one breast. She chose a bi-lateral mastectomy with reconstruction. Thankfully no lymph node involvement. She is Her2+. Began A/C chemo in January, then switched to Taxol & Herceptin in March. Missed a couple of treatments in April due to pneumonia.
Any feed back would be appreciated.
Bonnie
