Rejoyce,
That is wonderful news...now you can finally move forward. I'm glad your cardio doc gave you the green light to go ahead with Herceptin. That will give you peace of mind and that's important. Great ECHO results.

Dear Rejoyce

Perhaps the difference in the 2 tests was that your Muga reading was actually someone else's. You know your Echo was yours because the technician gave you a pretty clear indication that you were around 60% during the test but perhaps they got your muga mixed up with someone else's. Maybe not. Just thinking out loud here.

I am sorry you have had to join our little club here but we are here to support you through your journey. Herceptin has changed the face of Her2+ breast cancer. Come here whenever you need someone. Someone is always around to give you support.

Becky,

I was also told at the testing center where I had my MUGA's that it was important to have all your MUGA's done on the same machine, and preferably with the same tech, if possible, because there is variation from machine to machine and tech to tech. Rejoyce's facility could have had an issue with the machine or the tech, too.

Rejoyce, I really like your screen name! Best of luck to you with your treatment plan.

Hopeful
