Herceptin Heart Risks Clarified for Older Patients

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards...e_id=66069886#

I posted this link because I couldn't get the MedPage link to load...

I think we already know this, but just confirmation. As one who has been able to cause my LVEF to recover, I believe if older patients and their Onc work closely in conjunction w/ a cardiologist when they are considering starting Herceptin, many may be able to thwart/mitigate the problems with solid monitoring... just one girl's opinion.

Cancer is primarily a disease of the elderly.
