Rose;
I am so sorry to hear of the added troubles you have been through. When I saw my onc last week he took me off herceptin due to decreased heart function (42 on the MUGA). He explained that this exam sees the actual heart beating and mine was beating in a sluggish manner due to the herceptin. I have a little bit of swelling (and really not much) to my feet and one hand (the non lymph node removed arm). I also feel heavy in my chest. I can't really tell if it's my breast (I had a lumpectomy) or my heart. My doctor is running some other tests and watches my neck and head for mets carefully due to the tumor I had in my left supraclavicular node so perhaps the symptoms are related to that I really don't know. As the ladies say, it is better to go and have things checked out.
Best regards,
Cathy
