Hi:

I have a CBC before each Herceptin infusion which is the protocol for all the Herceptin patients in my oncologist's office. I am one of those patients who did get anemia and low white counts from Herceptin so they do not hang the Herceptin drip until they have the results. On the other Herceptin patients they do not wait to start the Hereceptin until the labs are back. Every other treatment or every six weeks, I have a complete chemistry panel and CA 27-29 to monitor for reoccurrences.
