Re: Heart function decresed

Hi
A lady at my centre experienced low ejection fraction on herceptin around 45. They stopped herceptin for 2 doses and rechecked but was still low. She was referred to a cardiologist who prescribed a short course of treatment ( sorry can't remember the name of the drug)and it improved. She then completed her 12 months of herceptin. I know this is in England but a few years ago there was a post on the board from someone in the States who had an identical treatment.

Hope this helps.
I totally understand the fear and anxiety that this causes. Unless you are on this road it is hard to understand how stressful these blips are and what an impact they have on your psychological well being.
