Re: Monthly herceptin

Rich and Ellie...

Rich, I was given that information December 2010. Thank you for inquiring not sure, as well, about the 3 week dosing but Ellie shed some light on that.

Ellie, thank you for your valuable information. That would make sense, with the loading dose not needed until a month has elapsed. I know when I continued my Herceptin past the standard one year, we just made the 28 day cut off to continue without requiring another loading dose. I, also, heard somewhere that Herceptin actually remains in the body up to 6 months after the last dose. Might you have heard the same thing? Or maybe, what was being referred to was that the effectiveness of it remains that long?

Keep the Faith
