I didn't have a Muga after Herceptin even though mine dropped during Herceptin enough to stop Herceptin for awhile. My Muga improved some and we were able to restart Herceptin at a lower dose. I am having some issues that we are presently checking our concerning my heart. I still have swelling in ankles and lower legs and my shortness of breath during any exersion isn't getting better. I exercise regularly so if it were from lack of exercise this would improve with time. I have been off chemo since 11/05 and finished Herceptin 8/06. My onc. is having be evaluated by a cardiologist.
