After reading these posts I was wondering about herceptin given with or without chemo. Initially I started with 4 dose dense A/C treatments. Then came 4 dose dense taxol treatments along with herceptin. The herceptin was given every 3 weeks. I received the herceptin every 3 weeks and continued it for 1 year. The taxol ended Nov. 30 2005 and the herceptin ended Oct. 2006. Also, I received herceptin while I went through radiation from the end of Dec. to beginning of Feb. Is that what is recommended? I notice many receive herceptin after chemo is finished and wondered why? is that what is recommended? If someone could explain that to me, I'd appreciate it.
