I get my Herceptin infusions on weekends, when there are not likely to be any oncologists on-site. Of course, the nurses are experienced in Herceptin infusions. Maybe someone at your local hospital could be trained to do the infusions. You also would need a pharmacist to mix the Herceptin. Good luck!
