Warning
if you are thinking of taking Herceptin with you--it must be kept between 39 and 49 degrees F at ALL times, whether stuck in the airport, in a hotel/condo where the power for the refrigerator goes out, etc. Most good large oncology offices and hospitals have one or several back-up generators and people on call with alarms which go off if the refrigerators go above a certain temp. Herceptin is delivered in refrigerated trucks.
Even if you get the drug abroad--are you sure they have not had a power failure or forgotten and left it out in the heat?
Something to think about,
Lani
