HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - Is this onc for real? Herceptin weekly/everythree weeks trials

I started out on Herceptin weekly and switched to every 3 weeks. I specifically asked if there was any difference between the two schedules, and was told by my own onc. at Loma Linda Univ. and my second opinion Dr. at UCLA that there was no difference.

Dr. Pegram at UCLA worked with Dr. Slaman in development of Herceptin, and he was one of the ones I posed the question to.

So...from my point of view, that onc. is not correct in his advice.
