I asked my onc last time I saw him and he said it depends on where you started... for eg: if you started at 58, and went to 38 this might be a concern whereas if you started at 70 and went to 40 they might take you off it right away. It fluxuates with everyone... my onc says I am off the charts and he won't even consider my mugga right now... it reads 85, 78... back up to 80 etc... he says thats probably too high for a real true reading. I have been on Hercpetin for a year.

I hope this helps... (but I would phone your onc and ask him what he/she thinks). I really think it goes up and down.
