I had a baseline MUGA score of 62% and after FEC x3 ,Taxotere/Herceptin x3 and Herceptin x1 my score dropped to 42%. I am off Herceptin now for good as CDN Standard of care states that a hold 2x means stopping Herceptin. I am seeing the Cardiologist on Tuesday, the 24th so I will let you know what he says.
