Hi Erin,
I also have been having the echo's,I'm really not sure what the difference is between a muga and an echo. I have been on Herceptin since last Jan, and will complete infusion in late Dec. I was worried also about the possible heart damage due to my mother having cardio myiopathy and chf. My last one in Sept was holding steady at 65% and the onc claim this was good..
Take care
Cathy
