Heart function decresed

[vballmom]

I would love to hear updates on your lives! I had my first 12 weekly Herceptin tx with Taxol and one Herceptin-only treatment. My EF dropped from 60% to 53% and my team stopped my Herceptin. I go back in two weeks for an echo.

Has anyone else stopped this early in treatment? 53% is still within normal range, so I am hoping I show improvement.

Any thoughts on me getting a second opinion?

Hi,
My EF droppped to below 50% and was put on an herceptin holiday- I was panic stricken at the time as I wanted to do everything possible to kick cancer's butt! So, I followed the advice of some girls on here, took Co Enzyme Q10 Ubiquinol and lots of fish oils and got myself to the gym. This did the trick and my EF rose back into the 60's which allowed me to complete the whole herceptin course. You can do it!

Thanks, Emma! Do you know how much fish oil you took?
