so sorry to hear this distressing news...I received Herceptin for a year and I too will probably develop heart failure since that's the biggest complication of that drug...but what choice do we have?...my HER2 positive cancer was an aggressive type (my tumor doubled in size in 1 month waiting for my treatment to start)...so I had to accept the possible complications of the chemo or let the cancer kill me within months...I guess we have to choose what's the worse of the 2 evils
I'm glad tho that you've had 16 yrs of life...there are meds that can manage the heart failure...keep us posted on how you are doing...take care
