Hi Brenda D

One of the "wise ones" will probably have an answer to the Herceptin/Tax.
combo. I don't know why you're getting Herceptin alone.

I also had it every 3 weeks and it took about 90 minutes. As I gained weight, my onc. increased the amount I received, so by the end, it was taking a bit longer to get the infusion. I started Herceptin with Taxol and then carried on with Herceptin only. Hope this helps.
