Great Day... I got back on track with Herceptin today. I had been taken off of the drug because it had lowered my heart ejection ratio. After 10 weeks off the drug... everything is back to normal. I have been feeling great. I finished Chemo on Nov 1st and Radiation on Feb 13th.. a great Valentine's present. So we will try again with the herceptin. I have finished 21 of the 52 weeks worth of Herceptin so far... Wish me luck. Take Care and God Bless all.
