Hi, friends! So, I just got back from the doc. My EF is at 50. They told me to keep going on Herceptin, but come back in 2 months for another echo to see. I've only had 3 treatments of Herceptin (1 every 3 weeks).

Jenny, I get it. I thought Herceptin was the miracle drug, and now I may not be able to take it?! Am I being insane? I had a complete pathological response with the chemo before my bmx--I chose to be really aggressive with the surgery. As I'm thinking of this more tonight, I'm getting more scared. My little boy is just 5.
