Thanks Sheila for this information about Coreg. I am going to ask my onc about it. I'm on herceptin now for a local recurrence.
Previously I was denied herceptin because my LVEF went down to 30 after chemo with adriamycin. This was LVEF on both Muga and echo.
Currently I am monitored every three months on herceptin by Muga only. I'm staying in the 40s, fortunately. I'm having chest wall rads on left side too.
I hope you are well....
Sheree
P.s. I'm new to this site so have not posted my data or figured it out!
I'm in la grange, Illinois.
