I'd be interested to hear how many of you got Herceptin for early stage BC either before or after it came on the PBS about October 06. I was one of my oncologists first PBS patients.

  • Hi Carol,

    I was one of the first to go on Herceptin after it went on the PBS.

    My experience wasn't good. My heart function plummetted and I was taken off the treatment after 11 sessions. I should have had 18 all up but it wasn't to be.

    My heart is still in trouble and I am now under a heart specialist.

    You can't win sometimes  can you! LOL

     

    Did you have any problems?
