In March 2006,I had an echo doppler, and my lvef was 68%. When I went for my first MUGA before herceptin or any chemo, it was 59%, almost a ten percent drop. My next MUGA, three months later after herceptin, was 64%. The radiologist said I might have been under great stress when I got the 59% reading. And it's true, I was under stress during the first MUGA as the technicians had a difficult time finding my veins for the two injections. Were you under any particular stress? Sorry for your worry!
