Hi Nancy,

I had the same thing happen in March. I went in for an echo and my ejection fraction had dropped 10%, from 63 to 53. I had to stop the Herceptin and since it had been six weeks since my last echo, I had another one and my EF was back up to 60. I only missed the one infusion and now I only have three more to go and I will complete my year of treatment.

This is a very common syndrome in women who are receiving Herceptin. If I were you, I would request another echo and go from there.

Karen
