How to improve MUGA scan
Hi,
I was turned down for a vaccine study because my MUGA scan was not in the normal range. Mine is 48, on the drug Enalapril, and the lowest they would take is 50. My onc ordered a eco and I was hoping it would show a normal range. It didn't. I can't and don't want to get off Herceptin. If I could exercise and get some of this weight off maybe it would help.
Would taking co-Q-10 help me? If so, how much do I take?
Should I ask to see a cardiologist? Maybe a different heart drug would bring it up 2 points.
I am a teacher so I am active all day. I am trying to increase my exercise and get some of this extra weight off.
Any ideas?
Thanks
