Hi

My wife has just had a low Muga score prior to Herceptin and hence it has been delayed.

She has had 4 treatments of EC and is due to start Taxotere & Herceptin. Her Muga score was 46% and she is very worried about it because she has it in her head that this is unusually low and can not be recovered.

One of the reasons she is worried is that she has always been very fit, not overweight, horse rides daily, eats well and now at 49 this. It has hit her harder than the original diagnosis.

How "normal" is this and what can she do to increase the score.

Cheers, Ron
