I have been off herceptin for nearly a year after doing 12 weekly treatments(6 with taxol and 6 without weekly), then a larger dose of Herceptin every 3 wks for a year....MY MEMORY IS NOT BETTER !!! It only gets worse...and worse...... go to healthtalk.com and listen to an talk a few months ago... with some radiologist..and MDs.
What is your MUGA score.... My onc would not give me my last 2 heart scans----- which were called"rested-gaited"(MUGA?) Heart scans....
The last score on mine was a 48....--
I saw that 55+ was normal
--DOES ANYONE KNOW ??
