Ohhhh lizbeth!!
I saw my Oncologist today, it went well...as to my heart palpitations, he is first going to have me wear a heart monitior while I recieve herceptin.

He said he could change my treatment schedule, as of now, I get Herceptin once a week, now he said he would administer it with the TC every 21 days for my 5 more treatments...then Herceptin for 17 weeks.

Is that how you receive yours...or anyone...TCH all together...or Herceptin once a week...then TC every 21 days??

Thanks for your input, I'm full of questions...however, know that I APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU MORE THAN I CAN EVEN PEN!!
