Re: Heart function decresed
Hi Denise,
Nice to know I'm not alone with the low heart function but really wish we both weren't here! It's a bit scary isn't it when the miracle drug makes you sick?? We will have to make a pact right now to never need Herceptin again as it just isn't any good for us!
Have your oncs suggested anything to increase your fraction?? Mine said nothing to do but I seriously doubt that! I am not especially tired but do have a tight/weird feeling periodically in my sternum.
As an aside have you wondered why they call it 'fraction' when it is measured as a percentage??
Stay well
Jenny xx
