Hello I have had quite bad breathlessness and generally felt unwell sufficient to see a GP who suspected a PE. Spoke to chemo unit who felt the same and advised A&E. Tests for PE and Neutropenic sepsis thankfully all negative. A&E Dr thought it a side effect of the build up of Herceptin. I know it can cause heart problems. The chemo unit are going to phone me on Mon to see how I am. I’m due an echocardiogram this month which is helpful. 
Has anyone else had a problem with this please ? Thanks
