^^ Thanks, Janelle.
I got a total of 8 herceptin treatments (once every three weeks) from early June until early Novermber. Then it was stopped and I have been hoping for an LVEF recovery to resume (a herceptin "challenge" as my oncologist calls it). So by my calculations I got one fewer than half of the 18 herceptin infusions I would ordinarily get in a year.
GuessIcan just hope it was enough!
Has anyone resumed herceptin following a break?
