Pulled off Herceptin

[Becky]

My heart has stayed good too (60%). Since I am not on chemo (just Herceptin), I can take a larger dose (300 mgs per day divided into 3 doses).

I also either power walk or run 4-5 miles per day.

When I'm not on chemo, I've taken 100 mgs. twice a day. Since on chemo, I'm taking 100 mg once a day. Once I'm done with chemo in March, I plan to up my dose to 300 mg (100 mg 3 times daily, like Becky) as my LVEF has dropped to 49% (from 55%) since starting Navelbine this time. My onc and I are in agreement that too many antioxidant's while on chemo is counterproductive, so I'll be interested to see how well my ejection fraction improves once I up my dose.
