MugaScan EF Numbers
I just finished my 17th Herceptin treatment. For the first 12 weeks, I was taking Herceptin with Taxol and mhy EF numbers were good (68%). Have been taking Herceptin once every 3 weeks and after just having my third mugascan, my EF number went down to 54% and my oncologist stopped my Herceptin temporarily. I go for a fourth mugascan on 4/28. What happens if my body can no longer tolerate Herceptin? My oncologist wants me in it for a year and I have only been on it for 5 1/2 months. I'm scared and don't want to develop any damage to my heart.
