Re: Just started Herceptin, worried about effects on heart.

So normal to feel as you do. Most of us will also tell you that when we complete our treatment of herceptin and he year is up we also go through a strong seperation anxiety. As much as we feared having the treatment then the opposite happens and we are concerned about stopping hercpetin. Being half way through treatment and coming down the finish line is uplifting. Some days are easier then others. You will always find support here....sending you wishes of peace and strength.
Hugs,
jean
