HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - How often to get heart scans when using herceptin

06-17-2005, 08:14 PM

I had baseline MUGA that was 59, then after the AC and before the herceptin I had another MUGA that was 55. I was told that anything over 55 was normal.

I also found it interesting that while I was on the AC my blood presure went up. Now that I am on taxol/herceptin it is coming back down. I am hoping that means my MUGA will maintain or improve.
