Hi @ddon, I had a period of much faster resting heart rate starting during AC and peaking during Paclitaxel chemo. My resting heart rate often went up into the nineties. Horrible.

During that time I had two heart scans due to Herceptin and both were fine, my ejection fraction was unchanged. DM me if you want. Hope yours slows soon too.
