Goops,-
Your story should reminds us that Herceptine is NOT a vitamine, but a medicine which can kill cancer cells.. We should all be aware of this, - specially if it concerns the heart. We need our heart don't we..
A friend of mine got a permanent heart damage because of Herceptin they should have stopped. Her MUGA was 22 when she finally got hospitalized!! It is a wonder she survived! But she is still with us, thank God!!
We are dealing with heavy drug here Ladies!!
I don't think you should exercise too hard when you are under treatment.
I myself has a short of breath when I'm doing aerobic or skiing, and I am afraid of pushing myself too hard. We all know that Herceptine can affect our heart. I see this time as a special period in my life, a period of exceptions.. When I finish in June,- I will push myself again - to gain a better breath.
But while I am in a cancer treatment period,- I will let my body rest just about enough.. (but not too much!!)
The Herceptine 's got to do what the Herceptine 's got to do...
Thursday I will have a ultra sound on my heart. And I think it is a little lower now. It feels that way, anyway. Scary!
I'm sorry if I scared you with my friends story, but we are not dealing with vitamine B.
