Thank you for your postings. It is nice to know that people care. I would lurk on this site, but was hesitant to post. Everyone is upbeat and positive, but I struggle with my emotions a lot. I don’t want to be a downer, though by nature I am a worrier.

Has anyone had their tumor markers rise with Herceptin? I am concerned about the cardio toxicity of Herceptin and was wondering since my tumor markers are rising, maybe Herceptin isn’t working. And if it isn’t working on me, then is it just adding toxicity onto my heart?
I think my oncologist mentioned a lower dose on me, could that make a difference on the tumor markers rising?

Thank you for your help and advice.
