Whoa. Only 27% ejection fraction, that is cutting it pretty close. I can understand why you changed oncs. Monitoring LVEF while on Herceptin is considered standard of care, especially when combined with chemo. When I first started Herceptin I remember telling my onc that I didn't care if I got heart failure, I'd rather go from that than cancer, and he just shook his head and said, "No, if your heart function gets too low we'll have to stop the Herceptin!"
If you don't mind answering another question; When your heart was damaged, were you on a Herceptin/chemo combo or Herceptin alone?
