Heart and Herceptin...
Good Afternoon Ladies!!!!!
I was on Herceptin for 14 weeks and then pulled for 4 weeks as my MUGA dropped from a 52 to a 44. I knew from the AC/Taxol chemo rounds that I wouldnt make it up to a 50 in a 4 week period... as it took me 6 months to go from a 42 to a 52... so, in the 5 weeks, I went up one point to a 45.
I am now, 35 years old and REALLY want to continue on with Herceptin, as does my doctor... I would have to be closely monitored as I would be going back on Herceptin, being dropped from the clinical study, basically on my own.
I often think, as Heart Diease is the number one killer of women today, how many of those women had Breast Cancer treatment???
So, how nuts am I if I do continue with Herceptin with a MUGA of 45???
ANY comments or suggestions is much appreciated!!!
