MJO,
I too had to stop Herceptin due to a big drop in my MUGA 68 to 54. I was still in the normal range also. After nine weeks my MUGA was up some 56-58. I was put back on Herceptin at half the oringinal dose. My treatments were increased slightly as I finished my Herceptin. There are studies that show that a shorter time on Herceptin may be as effective. I do agree with Steph about the exercise. Keep doing this and hopefully you will be able to finish out your year of Herceptin.
