I still see just my oncologist every 3 weeks when I get my herceptin. We usually chat about what vacation he is going on next. Even when I was going every week, I saw only him. Only once when he was on vacation, did I see the nurse practitioner and she was really quite helpful and provided a lot of information. Even noticed that my oncologist hadn't ordered a MUGA for me on time and so she ordered it. Now there are other oncologists in the practice that have their patients see the NP quite often. Mine just likes to see his patients himself..sherryg
