Just had my Muga. Dropped from 71 to 55 after 4 AC treatments.
Notation on report states they suspect possible malfunction of equip or test was done incorrectly.
They suggested I get an echocardiogram to confirm or dispute Muga results.
If it confirms, then I can't get Herceptin; If it disputes, then I go on to have my Herceptin/Taxol 12 week regimen.
My Onc said that getting Herceptin when rate is 55% is not a good thing because it would drop further. She did say anything over 50 is still in the normal range.
