Hello,

I did NOT do herceptin every 2 weeks. I did taxol every 2 weeks. My first taxol treatment is when I had my loading dose (first treatment) of herceptin. I then received the herceptin every 3 weeks and taxol every 2. Occasionally, (I think twice) the herceptin and taxol fell on the same day. I had absolutely no problems receiving herceptin every 3 weeks and actually enjoyed receiving it that way. I have to travel a little more than an hour to my treatment facility and doing that every 3 weeks was plenty.

Hugs to you,

Mary Jo
