Perjeta/ Trastuzumab thoughts
Hi lovelies, I will start chemo soon. Perjeta as part of second part of my chemo is additional cost and not essential, what are your thoughts or experience on it? I am most likely going to go ahead...
@Brianna I was concerned about the Herceptin & the heart issues as I get heart palpitations since having the Covid vaccine. I mentioned it & they did an echocardiogram before I started treatment saying my heart was perfect, I'm scheduled for a follow-up echocardiogram on 19th December to double check if there's anything happening. Oncologist said there's drugs to counteract any heart issues from the Herceptin but not the chemo if that's caused any damage.
