I had to stop due to MUGA drop, but I got in 9 months of Herceptin and I trust that did the trick for me. My friend was Stage 3b and her MUGA dropped to 43 during Herceptin, but they kept giving it to her due to her stage. She's NED 5 years later and healthy. I think you'll do just fine. You will be carefully monitored.
