Guest guest Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 e, I just finished my year of Herceptin on August 28. It is not hard at all. While it can make you tired at times, it can also can some joint and bone pain at times it is still very, very easy. Just make sure Onc does the Muga or Echo Cardiogram about every 3 months to check your LVEF of your heart. Mine never dropped during teh year, some people it drops below 50 and will have to stop teh drug. Also here is a support list that is especially for HER2 ++ people, they have been a Godsend to me on questions I had when starting out. _http://her2support.org/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=28_ (http://her2support.org/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=28) In a message dated 10/9/2006 5:52:30 PM Central Daylight Time, reikiandthenreiki@... writes: hello all. I have been adjusting to the new but not disastrous news from last Friday. (Very much needing to keep the vision on the at least half full glass, yes.) I know this topic has probably been discussed but may I ask for your patience to again put forward what you may have experienced with herceptin, for that is one of the things they are moving to now. many thanks and with much love, e Vicki K.
