Hi Cathy:

I too, had to stop herceptin treatments about 2 months now, because of low MUGA scores. I went to my doctor at the University of Michigan on Wednesday, and said I don't need anymore herceptin. I was on every 3 week schedule, for one year. I got in 7 1/2 months, and he said that there is now evidence in European trials, showing that getting herceptin for 6 months is as good as 1 year. So I am done! I now just have to get my monthly shot of faslodex now.

Good Luck with everything!
Sue
