HI
I had a MUGA before hercpetin and then after 2 months on hercpetin with taking it every 3 weeks. My MUGA dropped from 52% to 37% so I stopped herceptin and saw a cardiologist who did an ECHO, he said there was no heart damage. He then put me on Coreg. and Lisinopril for my heart, I had another MUGA about 2 months later and it went back up to 53%. So I have just started herceptin again, but I am trying a lower dose and taking it weekly, I am still on my heart meds and will have a MUGA in 2 months. THere are some people on this board that take Coq10 that is suppose to help heart function. The funny thing is I didn't have any symptoms when my MUGA had dropped into the 30's except I was a little tired and who isn't :-). So I guess I am being monitered about every 2 months, I also have an appt. with my Oncologist and Cardiologist every 2 months right after my heart scans.
Hope this helps
God Bless
