Muga results
I have been on Herceptin since 10/06. My muga prior to Herceptin was 59%. I assume this was the left Ventricle. Had another muga yesterday and it was 49% for the left ventricle and 13% for the right. (last mugs for right ventricle was 39%). I wanted a Muga 3 months into Herceptin by oncologist said not necessary. They immediately stopped the Herceptin, and now I have an appt. with a cardiologist. Does your heart "repair" itself after you stop Herceptin. What do you think the next step will be with the cardiologist. Needless to say, I'm a little nervous. After a few tears, I said, I just want to be normal!! Can anyone give me any insight on this?
