That's a good question. Harriet was scheduled to have her MUGA test yesterday, but they called her and rescheduled for today due to problems with the imaging machine.
The MUGA is: The MUGA scan (MUltiple Gated Acquisition scan) is an
often-useful noninvasive tool for assessing the function of the heart.
The MUGA scan produces a moving image of the beating heart, and from
this image several important features can be determined about the health
of the cardiac ventricles (the heart’s major pumping chambers).
I was told they inject her with some type of solution and she rests for half an hour and then they do the imaging. It seems that a lot of these tests are to establish "benchmarks", so that as the chemotherapy progresses, they have something to compare it to what is normal.
Yesterday was a pretty good day. And we are thankful for these good days between the chemotherapy. I want to thank you for your continued prayers and support.
God bless you my friends,
Frank and Harriet
