Journal Entry-February 16, 2010
Dr. Go decided to permanently stop my Herceptin treatments due to decreased heart function. At some point in the next few months he will repeat the Echo to see if my heart function has returned to normal. Usually heart damage from Herceptin is not permanent. I can't say that I'm sorry to hear the news! I truly believe that the Herceptin is causing this flu syndrome every 2 or 3 weeks, so hopefully once it is out of my system I'll be feeling better. Dr. Go did give me an antibiotic since I've been sick all weekend.
The next step is scheduling my excisional biopsy in the next few weeks. Thanks for praying!
