I had AC chemo, radiation on the left side and herceptin and it is clear from my muga that that treatment did affect my heart. So no wonder I am not allowed to do much cardio and not allowed to increase what I do. I am just so grateful - and keep repeating this - that I started off pretty healthy and fit. So now although my muga shows a huge difference, I am still way above normal and so no cause for concern (it appears). But as my sister said this morning when we were chatting about it (am staying with her in Cape Town on a short holiday): if you were so healthy, then why did you get cancer? Ja, the million dollar question.....And I eat so healthily, I do not believe it is from what I eat.. ag, who knows...gillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08147602387677679847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525418211848502953.post-10919409100369570352011-01-26T22:41:59.858+02:002011-01-26T22:41:59.858+02:00Glad your numbers are moving up.

I know that Adriamycin, Hercptin & Tykerb affect the heart, but not sure about other drugs.<br /><br />With Daria's b-day on FB, I just kept thinking about her husband, how he would feel when he saw the birthday messages.Julie Goodalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409261967805631648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525418211848502953.post-70214171834693659592011-01-25T21:09:00.310+02:002011-01-25T21:09:00.310+02:00Fascinated that you are not familiar with the muga...Fascinated that you are not familiar with the muga scan. Did you not have a scan to check the impact of chemo, and other breast cancer treatment, on your heart? Interesting....but I guess everyone is different. All my treatment could affect the heart and all of it was focused on my left side. Mmmm.. going to ask others if they also had a muga. Maybe it was just me? I know that it does appear that the no/minimal cardio rule is particularly strict for me although I know someone else in the same situation.gillianhttp://gillian-fromundermyhat.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-525418211848502953.post-25630432381623498632011-01-25T12:24:44.149+02:002011-01-25T12:24:44.149+02:00Gillian, ironic isn't it that Daria has been w...Gillian, ironic isn't it that Daria has been wished a Hapy Birthday unwittingly. May she rest in peace.<br />Not able to comment on your Muga Scan. They are new to me. Good luck with your oncologist next visit.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01334065619837967170noreply@blogger.com
