My ejection fraction was down 5pts 2 tx ago and now they scheduled me to have a muga AFTER my next Herceptin. Does that make sence? Doesn't it seem that it should be before in case the #'s have continued to decline? I did do the AC and am concerned because my first Muga (56%) was after the chemo. I have no idea if my #'s were better before. Has anyone had this test done to check for further dropping after treatment? Thanks, Kim
