Is anyone on heart medication whilst being treated with Herceptin. Has it made a difference?
thank you.

Hi,
interesting if you get any replies. I had my heart MRI before my chemo started, second chemo is on Friday. My MRI showed 53% and to have Herceptin it needs to be 55%. I've got to see a cardiologist and possibly start some medication.

Hi
I had heart medication to protect against Herceptin damage, it worked for me - I was able to complete the entire course of 18 treatments. I did have a few MUGA scans to keep an eye on heart function whilst going through the treatment .
Hope all goes well for you.
Thank you Wyll. Can i ask which medication you were given?
Hi Lilachope
I honestly can't remember- the treatment was from 2016 into 2017 and my memory is terrible! Only recall it being a pill with no side effects. If I come across what it was I'll let you know.
All the best
