Debbie - I don't know the specific answer to your question - but would be surprised if your onc takes you off herceptin for a 56! I know it's going down, but my MUGA varies as much as 15 points between visits....sometimes it goes up! My onc. says I'm fine until I get in the 40s. I've had them as low as 50

Diet and exercise DO NOT influence your MUGA and the heart functioning. I had a doctor explain it to me.....I asked what I could do to build up my heart before treatment and was told nothing!! I'm relatively young (34) not overweight, eat pretty balanced, and exercise, and my MUGAs are usually in the 50s. Exactly what does your husband think you could change in your diet to improve things??

Keeping you in my prayers....
