Been for result of latest MUGA scan today. My EF has gone from 45 to 36. So herceptin has been stopped and I have been referred to a cardiologist. I have had 12 out of 18 shots. I have been complaining of feeling breathless and a bit of a cough so am ( I think) glad this is the cause and not something nasty happening in my lungs.
I understand that the heart normally recovers when herceptin stops and some heart medication is given.
Has anybody else had their herceptin stopped? Was it re-started when your heart recovered?
