Herceptin and enlarged heart

  • Hello Mandy-K

    Herceptin is known to be associated with the risk of heart problems which is why regular checks are carried out. 

    It's understandable that you're feeling concerned about things and I'm sure that talking your concerns through with someone would give you some reassurance. If you're not able to speak to your Consultant or Clinical Nurse Specialist then you're most welcome to give our team of nurses a call. They're available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,
