Here's the link...it basically says that new reports today from the New England journal of medicine says that weekly does given in small amounts are more effective than every 3 weeks in adjuvant treatment...doesn't mention drugs....Guess I"m back on the weekly herceptin. I did it weekly for 2 years and just started the 3 week in January. Says study will surely change the current practice...link below..sherryg683
