Protocol Question: every 7 or 21 days?

[Paula O]

Does anyone know what determines whether a Her2 positive patient receives Herceptin every 7 days or every 21 days?

I asked the Gennotec folks (sp?) and the nurse did not know.

I know someone at Stage 1 BC getting Herceptin weekly and I am at Stage 3 getting it every 21 days and I am wondering what the standard protocol reccomends. I might ask my oncologist but wondered if anyone here might have researched this already.

Thanks,

Paula
