I had Herceptin weekly for the 1st 6 months, then my doctor was less strict and let me do a 3-week dosage around the holidays and for me to do a summer trip.
When I did Taxol for a recurrence I had Herceptin weekly with it.
I think the weekly was slightly easier. I definitely felt more flu-like symptoms when I did the 3-week dosage, but it didn't last too long and it was convenient.
