Hi, Donna. I am also off Herceptin for 4 weeks. My LVEF dropped from 65 to 51%. I'm still getting Taxol (3 doses left), so I can't take CoQ 10 yet. I have an appointment with a cardiologist on Friday. My feet and ankles are very swollen. I'll be having a repeat MUGA scan in 4 weeks to see if I can resume the Herceptin.
There is a thread that was started on 8-30-06 about the FinHer study:
