Hi,
Initially when all this started I got MUGA's and they were too much of a hassel. I had really small, rolling veins and I used to leave there looking like a pin cushion.
I told my onc. and she said she preferred ECHO's over MUGA's anyway. She said they are show more.
I think an ECHO is the way to go.
Good luck!!!!
