Hi All: First I would like to thank everyone who responded to my earlier post about CO-Q-10. I started taking it and (drum roll, here!) my insurance company approved my use of herceptin so it's a good thing I started the CO-Q-10 when I did. My Onc had me do an echo-cardiagram to measure my ejection fraction. It came back at 66. Not as good as I had hoped (previously I had measured 79) and I thought for sure my Onc was going to refuse to give the herceptin to me. Low and behold he said he would leave the decision up to me as long as I absolved him should I experience heart damage (kind of a scary thought!).
My next question for all of you is what would be the best schedual to recieve the Herceptin. I know you can get it either every week or once every three weeks. Every three weeks would be a lot more convenient but because, previously I had heart damage while taking the Herceptin, I thought maybe a lesser dose more often would be easier on my heart. Does anyone have any thoughts, info or comparisons about the two different dosing scheduals?
Thanks in advance, Linda in Calif.
