Herceptin

Thank you Deanne and Janey for replying back to me.  Deanne I will take your advice and see if it works..  Funny thing is that my husband just bought a new coffee machine 2 weeks ago and since then I have been drinking more coffee than usual, so I will give coffe a break to see if that also effects me.  Janey I never felt the heart flutters but when I look back I was breathless and felt tired more than usual, but since having chemo I thought it was my body getting over it.  Janey I've had 3 heart scans since diagnosis and what I found out is that the last 2 MUGA ( eco cardiogram scan ) results were 68% then it fell down to 54% ( this means how efficient the muscle is to pump blood to the left ventricle ) What you need to do is get your results from these scans.  I'm sure if they were low you would have been notified by your oncologist suggesting that you have a break from herceptin in order for it to recover and bring up the MUGA result.  Janey I hope everything works out for you, you've had enough problems to deal with.. I've got a meeting with nmy oncologist next Thursday and at the end of December I will be having another scan to see if my MUGA result is hopefully higher..         Tanya XXX
