Pinklady Mentioned Ramipril
I have been on herceptin since last June and my echo has fallen to 44 (down from 62) and my bp somewhat erratic. I am already taking bp medication. My onc is sending me to a cardiologist next week and said there were some meds they could give me to continue taking my herceptin. I assumed he meant ramipril. Does it help? Will I have to continue taking it even after I'm finished with herceptin. Does heart congestion from herceptin ever get better. I'm really concerned and of course I want to continue my treatment. Any information is helpful. Thank you for your help,
Karen (Ora's kid)
