Hi my name is Melissa, I am 36 and I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. I am er/pr+, Her2/neu+ 2.1 FISH . I did four rounds of A/C and cytoxin and 4 rounds of Taxotere with weekly herceptin. I just finished the taxotere so they are moving me to every three week herceptin. When I went to the doc on monday they told me my muga scan had gone from 65 to 51. They said that I could still do two more treatments and then they would repeat my muga scan. I am alittle nervous about doing another treatment. they said if it is still low they would have to take me off the herceptin for a month or so to let the #'s go back up. Suppossedly this is normal and that it happens to alot of people. I would also love to hear frrom anyone that this has happened to and how long it took to come back up. My doctor did say that they expect this to happen.
