Hi Alice,
I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. I don't have a specific link to 1 week vs every 3 weeks, but that is the reason my onc put me on weekly. His statement was, "Herceptin is less toxic to the heart in weekly doses." I have 2 more doses and my score has fallen 10 points, but he isn't too concerned about it. Mainly because I am so close to being finished!
