Muga scan-How often with herceptin?
I had a Muga scan prior to AC. It was a 64. Prior to herceptin it was 51. The oncologist wants to repeat it 6 mo. after Herceptin was started. I thought every 3 months was better. What has your doc recommended or what is the "standard" concerning muga scans and Herceptin? Thanks!
