Echo
Bob,
First....thanks for hanging in there with your Mom. Attend many meetings with mine about her pace maker. First about the echo..... did the echo every 3 months while I was on herceptin....started out at 55 to 60...did drop one time to 50 to 55.....and herceptin was never d/c'ed. Echo and muga do the same thing but the echo is less invasive and no IV required. Did use the CQ 10 supplement and continued to do a great deal of walking. Consult her docs about that all of this. Much will depend on her over all health. Must admit that hearing a doc wanting to judge treatment because of " her age" ...kind of a rub on the nerves. Is she in good health? Is her attitude to fight, fight, fight?? 2nd onc consult sounds good....you both need to be comfortable and not rushed and have answers to your questions. Write them down as you have done here. You will get more replies I am sure. For your Mom....I say THANKS ! Hugs, Bonnie
