Dear Michelle,

Good to hear from you again. I am sorry to hear about your experience with Herceptin. Have you asked your onc if you could probably resume with the Herceptin treatment later on? I finished one year herceptin with no problems but I suffer from fatigue and short of breath due to lung fibrosis caused by the radiation treatment, obviously, this does not happens to everybody. When I started with the symptoms, my doctor double checked it was not my heart that was causing the effects till we confirmed that it was caused by the radiation. Hope you can resume the treatment later on. Wishing you the best, and please do not discourage, I am sure there will be a solution to this. Love,

Paty
