Why is there such a wide range of Infusion times? I was 90 minutes on first one and then lessening the time each tx. At one point I went down to 20 min! I thought that was good untill I woke up with a bloody nose every morning and thought that there was a connection. I asked them to slow down the time and still have what I would call "nose boulders" - continual nasal problems, even though my new onc does a 1 1/2 hr infusion. anyone have similar treatments, side effects? Stage 3a her2+++ er/pr+ 7/20 nodes.
