Muga keeps going up

I don't understand why my muga score keeps going up. Before starting chemo two years ago it was 55. My last muga two days ago is 70. How can this be if herceptin is hard on the heart? The Oncology nurses did not have an answer. I know this is good score but I wonder what it means. I don't think that it would mean that herceptin is just not effective. I don't think that has anything to do with it. I'm just curious. I am not taking any supplements except a multi-vitamin.

I'll ask the onc next time I see him.
