Diane, I've been scanned every six months since starting Herceptin. I usually have an Echo, which is a simple ultrasound, but for the 6 month vaccine trial I'm in the requirement has been for a MUGA at the beginning and one after I receive the last vaccine. Then I expect my onc will go back to the Echo, which has been as accurate and doesn't involve a radioactive tracer injection!
<3,
Lolly
