Hi
First of all I am so sorry you had to go thru all this.
I was taking herceptin alone ( finished Chemo. June 2005 ) this past summer every 3 weeks, my MUGA went from 52% to 36% in just a couple of months. Saw a cardiologist , I am on coreg. and lisinopril
, now my MUGA is up to 52.7% and I am hoping I will start herceptin soon. I had an echo. and they said there was no heart damage. I imagine it is going to take you a while to gain your strength back. Good luck with everything and keep us posted !!
God Bless
