Hi Jenny and NEDenise,
My EF dropped to below 50 after herceptin number 9 and was put on a herceptin holiday for 6 weeks. My Onc thought I had no chance of it improving to his minimum of 60, but it did, thanks to some advice from Brenda and Chrisy. I took loads of Fish oils Ubiquinol (CoQ10) which is more easily absorbed by the body and got my butt to the gym everyday and after 6 weeks it was back up to 64- my Onc's face was a picture when the results from the Echo came back. You can do it....positive mental attitude and all that!! Lots of love xx
