Herceptin stopped-now what?
Well, I had a call from my herceptin nurse today to say that my herceptin has been stopped due to my low EF score of 48%, I was 64%. I'm not sure yet if I'm on a break or a permanent stop, will find out Weds morning. Am feeling quite nervous about stopping herceptin and how it's going to affect my survival, having had only 9 out of 18 treatments. Is there anyone else who had to stop without completing treatment but is doing well?
Thanks, Emma
