Hi,

I had a MUGA 4 months into my herceptin treatment and that was it. Then my now oncologist (my old one left to teach at MAYO and to doctor their) decided he wanted one 1 year after herceptin to see how my heart function was from the A/C and 1 year of herceptin. Thankfully, it was fine - 62.

I am so hard to retrain. I am DonnaD and obviously did not do something right, signed my name Donna, not DonnaD. I am not an unregistered guest and have been apart of the board since 2006.

Just wanted to say my first muga was 72, the second 71, the third 64. This last one done March 27 was 68. I am on the up swing.

My most recent MUGA was on Feb 14. I finished Herceptin on April 3. Onc says no further MUGAs are required.
