Re: Echocardiogram question
Hi Tricia,
Top of the morning to you there in Eire! I believe it's a 9 hour difference? Or you're just up late 
It's possible my score went down after my last Herceptin but strange that it was at a steady 71 the whole time I was taking Herceptin.
Did your score go back up? How long did it take? Did you notice anything different when it dropped a bit, such as energy levels, etc?
BTW I am Irish as well, have an Irish passport and would dearly love to visit Ireland again. My granddad was from Tipperary area. How is your weather there? We are having tons of rain and lots of wind here in western Canada but no snow yet.
Dianne
