I had radiation on left side. My first Muga before chemo was 72, after AC chemo, went down to 68, I started my radiation and herceptin at the same time, but after 6 months, I was down to 41. I had to discontinue herceptin at 8 months. I stopped in August, and had another muga this past wed. I'll get the result on this wed. I was put on lisinopril and coreg for my heart, and I must say, I not nearly out of breath as I was, so I'm hoping for a good score!
