Hi Lopsided
I have done Herceptin weekly and every three weeks. I went from weekly for convience--just to get away from the doctor thing every week and it was also kinder on my skin. I was having rashes from the tapes they used around my port during the infusion. I make sure they give the Herceptin over a two hour period. That is my choice as I know some here do it in 90 minutes, which I think is standard, and I think some here do it in even less time.
If you are having it with chemo, having the three week dose along with the chemo would make for a long day--but chemo days were always long.
I don't think I have noticed much difference between every week and every three weeks. I have just 3.5 months to go to complete the one year of Herceptin. Yeah!
