Actually I asked the question on the BreastCancer.org board. My question was "I went for my 3week dose of herceptin yesterday and my oncol told me the conference she attend recently stated that weekly doses of herceptin are better. I was just wondering if you are all getting the same feed back from your docs as I've seen nothing in writting."

The guest speaker was Christine ???(sorry chemo brain) from Sloan. I have done some research and found that as almost all the studies have been done with weekly dosing that is the recommend dosage. However, those of us getting everythree week doses are paving the way for three week dosage. As I'm currently NED then I have to assume that every three weeks is working well for me. I know for me quality of life is as important as it's length.

Best Wishes,
Deb
