Happy to report that CAT scan of head shows I have a brain -- a healthy one -- and my echocardiogram shows a good ejection fraction and a healthy heart in general. I am one of the people who had to stop Herceptin early due to drop in MUGA score. For you A/C girls, the cardiologist told me that, in his experience, heart damage from A/C shows up soon after treatment. I asked him about reports that damage can show up years later. He believes that, in those cases, damage was already there and the person wasn't well monitored. I am glad that the trend is away from A/C for breast cancer treatment.
