Smile MUGA went up !!!!
Hi
I finally have some good news and wanted to share.
My MUGA went down to 36% after just 3 treatments with herceptin ( every 3 week treatment). I saw a cardiologist, put me on coreg. and lisinopril. and 2 months later it is back up to 52.7% YIPIEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastick News !!!
Bonnie,

That is the news that we love to hear. We are considering approaching some research groups to do a clinical study with Coenzyme COq10. Many women here have posted positive results using it.

Warmest Regards
Joe
