I'm currently undergoing 6 rounds of TCH and will continue herceptin for the year.  Is there any evidence that exercise and/or diet help keep your heart healthy during this treatment?

    I am not aware, but I have to imagine in general good exercise and diet can only help.  Good luck!

    I don't know if exercise helps, but it sure makes you feel better. I finished my #6 TCH on Sept.2nd. (18 days latter I completed a sprint Triatholon and did not come in last!!)  I excercised everyday I felt well enough to do so. But I did gain 15 pounds!   My muggs have remained the same.
