She could ask her oncologist about using a supplement called CoQ10 (since she is on chemo too she should ask. When on Herceptin alone, it really doesn't matter). Also, walking helps a lot but I don't know if she gets the same cardio from riding.

It will probably recover if the E part of the EC made it a bit sluggish. If not, a cardiologist may be able to help so she can get some Herceptin treatments.

Hope this helps. I am sure others will have some tips.
