reduced ejection fraction for herceptin
My last MUGA showed a reduction in the left ventricle ejection fraction. My first three all were 65,66,64 respectfully. Now after 6 months of Herceptin my last MUGA was 55. So my oncologist sent me to a cardiologist, he had me do an echo and said that it showed the same as the muga- that I had a reduction in the way my heart is pumping and he put me on an ace inhibitor. Then after my next apt. with the oncologist after he consulted with the cardiologist I got a call from the onc nurse telling me that they(the doctors) decided to swith my treatments to weekly treatments opposed to the every 3 week regiment. Anyone else have this happen to them?
