Linda, CONGRATS on getting Herceptin! As far as the weekly vs the 3 weekly, I've done both and my ejection fraction has remained steady with both. It's not great, in the mid to high 50's, but it's been that from the beginning so we're assuming that Herceptin hasn't damaged it. My oncologist has said any effect usually shows up early rather than late, so he feels I'm pretty safe after over 4 years of Herceptin.
Since you did experience some damage from your previous Herceptin, maybe you should think about starting with the weekly since it is a smaller amount (after the loading dose, which I think is also smaller than the 3 weekly loading dose). If your ejection fraction holds up, then you could think about switching to the 3 weekly, which really is more convenient. I'm hoping to switch back to that myself after the vaccine follow-ups.
<3,
Lolly
