Hi there. During my treatment (chemo), I received the Herceptin weekly. Once chemo was over, my onc moved it to every three weeks. I may go back to weekly now for other reasons. I have a friend with my exact diagnosis (scary!), and she did it the same way. I would want to have as many chemos with the Herceptin as possible- and my Taxol was weekly. The link mentioned above is good to read-
Love, Kelly
