Need help...advice how to handle this.
My oncologist in Sept. told me that when I was finished with Herceptin, I would need to have a final MUGA scan. That would be for January. My oncologist is out on maternity and I saw another...she said I did not need a muga, my heart never had any problem and even if there were a problem, there would be nothing that could be done. OUCH. I came right back and said, well, I'd go and see a cardiologist.
Now, I'm not going to panic here but...my confusion is real here. One says one thing and the other says something exactly the opposite. My oncologist isn't due back till April and I probably won't be seen by her until June. So...do I push to have it done??? Does everybody have that final MUGA regardless of the numbers of each one while on Herceptin. Please, I'd appreciate any and all answers on this one.
Thanks so much...HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL
