herceptin is back on

I was off herceptin for 1 month and my muga from last week was 54%. It increased from 47% a month ago. I start my herceptin again next Tuesday. I has received 41 weeks and we will finish up with 6 more treatments. After that, my onc considers me done. I'm ok with getting 47 weeks instead of 52.

The best time to take a MUGA scan would be in the last week before your infusion, if on a 3 week protocol.
