Lisa,
I had a MUGA 6 days after my last herceptin treatment and it came back at 55. So the oncology office called me yesterday to tell me to set up an apt. with a cardiologist.

But I was thinking, before even reading this post, because the MUGA was so close to my last infusion, could that be the reason for the low score? Seems like that is a possiblility. And of course I couldn't get an apt. until after my next herceptin treatment. So who knows what they will want to do with me.

I have been exercising for the last month and thought if anything my MUGA would be better not worse. Oh well.

Good Luck with everything!
