Great article Joe, and timely. I think it can safely be said that the Herceptin alone can and does cause loss of LVEF, as Mom has been on Herceptin alone, and has had no conventional chemotherapy.

I was surprised to see that the physician siting information about this was Dr. Eleanor Harris. She recently transferred to the Moffit Cancer Center from U of Penn here in Philadelphia, and was Mom's radiation oncologist after her two surgeries. The woman is a gem, was most attentive to Mom, and looks like a rising star in her field. Thanks again for the article.
