Alice,
I too was taken off of Herceptin when my EF dropped from 68 to 54 on my Muga. I was off for 9 weeks and then had another Muga and it was up to 57. My onc. put me back on a half dose for three infusions (every 3 wks.). I now will go back for another Muga next week. My onc thinks my Muga will cont. to climb with me on the lower dose. I don't know how this will effect how long I will stay on Herceptin. Talk with you onc. about retesting after a while and maybe you can go back on Herceptin.
Best to you,
