Re: Weekly Or Once Every 3 Weeks---herceptin
I started out with taking Herceptin every three weeks. After I developed Herceptin-induced cariomyopathy, I took a rest for 6 weeks, then resumed weekly Herceptin. My onc had had good results with this change, although I don't believe there are any studies that back it up. Anyway, it did the trick for me and for the next six months, I had no more problems with my heart. So, I was another success story for the onc.
