Hi,Karla,
The MUGA I had done after chemo and rads showed a LVEF of 55%. But I had no pre-chemo MUGA done, so it's not certain if the AC lowered it, or if it is normally low (at least to me, 55% seems low). My onc will do them every three months. I go for my next one Feb 13. Will be interesting to see if it has dropped any more.
Blessings, Karen
