Just a quick note...had a "false" low reading on MUGA (didn't know this could happen) & was on weekly Herceptin. Onc. insisted on ECHO (felt MUGA test was wrong) & didn't want my Herceptin interupted...had Echo, heart looked awesome and no MUGA's following only ECHO's. I was not in the HERA trial so he had freedom to do this. Personally LOVED the Echo; hated the MUGA and the sticking!
