HI Joletta,

I am new to all this also and have experienced similiar drop in muga with treatment. I began with a 78, then after A/C dropped to 70 and now 6 months into Herceptin am at 64. I understand from my onco that 50 is the target for continuing treatment. But she did say if it drops significantly they will stop treatment for a short time, boost with meds then try again. So I think you are safe! Hang in there, any drop with Herceptin is reversable.

I have not tried it but other use COQ10 to help with heart function. You should ask about that. Good luck and I'll say a prayer for you!
