Re: LVEF Question

I've been on Herceptin for almost 5 years. My EF fluctuates. Above 50% is good. One time it dropped 10% so they had me skip a treatment and repeat echo and it came back up.

Re: LVEF Question

Update...
I talked with my doctor last night and because EF measurement is not that precise he said not to worry. However, I've been having problems with breathing on and off lately. My friend noticed it seems to happen after my Herceptin treatments and lasts a few days. Each time it comes back it seems to get worse. He ordered a diagnostic echo immediately following my next treatment to see if there is any correlation to my symptoms.
