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...
I have an arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) - it started while I was having chemo and before I started Herceptin. It might have been chemo, surgery, age or any old thing. I was monitored through Herceptin and continue to be so. My heart is healthy (apart from the problem with the electronics!) and eleven years on remains so even though the irregularity is irregularly still there. I have no way of knowing for sure about the benefit of Herceptin but I have no regrets about having it.
