What data were the oncologists referring to when they said there was no difference between Herceptin weekly vs. every three weeks? Simply because two oncologists agreed doesn't make it so. We have heard from several people on this board about gettin gopinions from their oncologists about increased toxicity risks. My oncologist has said that he has seen increased toxicity risks with older patients on an every three weeks Herceptin schedule. I'm not saying that my onc has the right answer, but I don't know if the others do either because I haven't seen any data. Can anyone cite the study that relates to this issue?
I would love to go every three weeks instead of every week, but until I see the data I am not going to suggest it.

P.S. I am now unregistered because I don't know my password--it was saved for the old board but it doesn't pop up any longer. One of these days I'll re-register, but then I have to start over as a new member :-(
