I had a routine mammogram and it showed a suspicious mass. I had a biopsy and it was positive for Invasive Ductal Carcinom, High Grade, ER +, PR weak, and her2neu 3+. My MRI showed lymph node involvement. PET scan showed the first chain of lymph nodes involved, but no metastasis to other parts of my body. I was suppose to start on TCH today but my Muga scan showed my left ventricle EF at 41.7%, so I couldn't start the herceptin today. I just had the TC.
I am scheduled to see a cardiologist and will have an echo tomorrow. I am so dissapointed about not being able to start the herceptin!
I am 51 years old, overweight and have been on blood pressure meds since I was 30. I have never had any symptoms of heart disease.
I am hoping there will be a way to increase my heart function. I really want to be on Herceptin!!
