Hi, Snufi,
I had a 4 course of regular chemo, then a course of Herceptin with another drug every week for 2months or so. Then I began a year long course of every 3 weeks. I believe this is standard. This is my 2nd time for BC after a break of 15 years, so I am being extra agressive and have continued my Herceptin for over 2 years. There are very little side effects- they monitor my heart every 2 -3 months and the rate has stayed acceptable. This is a great drug. I had friends 15 years ago with HR2 and they did not make it and didn't get this drug.God bless,
Jeani
