I recently have started on herceptin along with taxol; however, after 3 doses and the results of a MUGA scan, my doctor has stopped my treatment for the next 3 weeks and will have to repeat the MUGA scan. Normal results are 55-65% and my heart muscles have decreased to 48%. The doctor feels at this time that it is the herceptin. It is still too early to know how my treatment will proceed; however, I am greatly concerned since, although the percentage of these problems are low, I seem to be in it and wonder if anyone else has had this problem but been able to get passed this point and continue on the herceptin and been able to manage the weakness in the heart muscles. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated to help me with the current anxiety I feel, since everything had been going so well up until this complication. Thank you.
