Smile Back from a break....

Hello all,
I am back from a break from the site. I needed to just get away from the info for a wee bit. I have had 23 RAD tx and will finish up the 28th on Friday June 13/08.
Just when I though that the light was burning at the tunnel's end I have been told that I have had some heart damage. My Muga scan has dropped 20% from 62 to 42. I am now on Ramipril 2x/d and await the call from a Cardiologist. So no more Herceptin for me. I am a bit worried since I am ER-,PR- and HER2+. BUT I do not want to damage my heart, as it is sort of important LOL. . I am really glad that I was able to struggle thru the chemo now.
This explains my fatigue that just doesn't seem to improve and the loss of strenght and stamina.
Any one else have this issue? Any suggestions?

I really hope that everyone Keeps strong in their faith and keeps putting one foot ahead of the other to keep trudging forward.
Love
Michelle
