I had been on herceptin for almost 1 year until I started having heart problems and the Herceptin had caused my heart to enlarge, now that I have been off the herceptin for a few months my heart is shrinking. Good news!!!

Glad to hear it. Good news should be like butter. Spread it around a lot so everyone can slip on it through the bad news that each of us have to endure at some point.

If this doesn't make sense, look at the source.

Good to hear that your heart is shrinking. That sounds so wrong and yet is so right. But you will still be a big hearted warrior here.
