Herceptin frequency - anyone do every 2 weeks?
Hi gals,
Right now I'm doing Taxol and Herceptin weekly and I really like doing it weekly. After my 12 weeks, I'm supposed to move to every three weeks for the Herceptin. I'm concerned I'll be getting 3 times as much drug. Has anyone done every two weeks with 2 times as much drug? That would be the same as my initial loading dose. Any thoughts?
Thanks so much.
