Herception only

BlessedMe

I had 6 rounds of TCH and now am on Herceptin only, thru May. Today I went for my monitored ECHO and was told that my heart was skipping a beat. Oh crap! On to the cardiologist.... I also went for my bone density base line appointment and they found some softness in the spine. Well, I guess all this means that I need to be on calcium and a anti anxiety med.

So, the cardiologist acted like I was wasting his time and I agree! (NICE) He stated that my ECHO was normal as was my EKG. So, after a very long day at the doctors I am as good as it gets or at least that is what I am telling me...But, I worry about the skipping heart rate because it is there. I heard it and I feel it. It was not there in August! He said that what we were seeing was consistant with stress and/or anxiety. OKay, I have all that but not to the degree that it would be causing issues with my heart. Has anyone been through this or has some insight as to what may be going on. I started on Femara about 2 months ago and am still getting Herception every three weeks.

I am fine but would like to better understand what others are experiencing with Herceptin only therapy combined with Femara or other hormone therapies.

Thanks,
