Hi
I have just stopped Herceptin for the same reason. I had my initial treatment (A/C) 3 years ago, and have been taking Taxol/Herceptin on and off for the past 2 years. I had an echocardiogram done that showed some very mild damage to the lower left hand side of my heart. It means it is not functioning as well as it should be. Have you had an echo done, or only the ECG?
I am off the Herceptin for at least 6 months, and we will then do another echo to see if it has repaired itself, and take it from there. It is pretty scary, but I have been assured that the heart can repair itself, so fingers crossed. I also had an angiogram done to make sure it wasn't a blockage, but that was all clear.
Good luck.
Lisa
