Good heart scan results and also herceptin approval Down Under
Hi everyone
I had a MUGA scan this week after 10 months on herceptin and my EF was exactly the same...63%. I take 200 mg Q 10 a day. I am sure this has helped. I was getting over a bout of pneumonia so my fitness level is really down.
Secondly the Australian government has approved herceptin for the PBS; which means early stage patients will be able to get it virtually free from Oct 1 2006. More than 2000 women will benefit immediately.
Cheers
Jackie
