Hi everyone

Reading all your posts, I am always struck by how different tests and treatments are between the countries. I am wondering how often do you all have echo or MUGA tests done? I have been having Herceptin for 20 months now, and have had one echo done and I can't remember how long ago it was. Also, as far as I am aware, I never have tumour marker tests done. You all talk about your results so much, and I feel so inadequate about the information I receive about my own body. What should I be asking about?

Thanks. Good luck.

Love Lisa
