Taken off Herceptin once again
Well I restarted Herceptin 4 weeks ago. Just got a call today from my onc's office. He had just received my latest Gated Heart Scan and it's dropped back down to 41 so he's cancelled any further treatments. I was put on weekly this time but it didn't seem to do any good for me. I have been taking CoQ10 as well. I had been hopeful as I had heart that many restart and don't have the same heart problems. I am grateful to have taken the Bayer Serum Her2 test and had a low score of 7.2 or 7.3 so I will not worry right now. I see the onc in a couple of weeks and I'll see what he recommends.
