Hey person with the brown spots, too...,
AS you can see...I am chemo-brained too. I now think IT is also from poor circulation to the Brain..lack of O2.
Do you mind telling me or asking WHAT THE SCORE OF YOUR MUGA WAS LAST--make sure you get all of your scores..before letting your Onc know.. just ask the secretary or if needed --sign a Medical Release form to yourself. Let me know...
Mine went down to 47...but I never got the TRUE ENDING score as my onc would not scan my heart ...just kept giving me the Herceptin.... Glad to know other oncs give the Muga...or echo of heart like YOU had. I had only 3 scans of my heart altogether ..including B-4 Adriamycin/Cytoxin... what about YOU ..HOW OFTEN OR HOW MANY IN ALL ..echos did you have??? kat in the delta
