Hi
My MUGA before herceptin was 52%, I was on the once every 3 weeks schedule. I had another scan after 3 treatments and it dropped to 36%. So I had to stop and saw a cardiologist and I am now on heart meds.Coreg. and linsinopril, low doses and I will have another MUGA in a few weeks. When I saw the cardiologist he did an echo and it showed no heart damage. I also finished chemo last year, and was just on herceptin and tomaxifen. I am hoping I will start back on herceptin soon.
My Oncologist won't let me take it until my MUGA is above 50%.
I am not sure what they would have done if it had dropped alot but was still above 50%. you might want to ask about consulting with a cardiologist.
I am going to ask if it would help if I take a lower dose every week instead of a larger dose every 3 weeks.
keep me posted.
God Bless
