I can wrap my head around the idea that different doses can keep an appropriate level of Herceptin in the system for a given interval. I have not, however, seen anything to support a 1 week loading dose for a 3week interval.
This seemed to catch the nurse who read it to me by surprise. She reread it and told me the usual dosages and that she had no explanation for the dosage. She said she could see my previous request for clarification attached to the chart and would have the onc call me the next day which would have been yesterday. I try to be respectful and patient but this kind of thing makes me really wonder.
