I started Herceptin in October of '04 after my relapse. After a year of weekly treatments, my MUGA dropped to 50 and I was taken off the Herceptin. I had a 3 month break and the rating went up to 67. Now with all this crap I've been going through with the leukemia, I haven't had Herceptin (or chemo) in over 2 months. I did have an echocardiogram, I wore a monitor for 3 days and I had an angio CAT scan. My heart is in great condition - THANKFULLY. The echo gave me a rating of 64 but the tech said the MUGA rating was more reliable?? I had a MUGA done just one week before the echo and it was up to 69. I personally think little vacations from time to time are good. Jean - I did have AC 6 years ago.
