Re: Loading dose of herceptin when it was not

Recent findings suggest that higher doses of Herceptin may be beneficial to higher her2 positivity patients. Considering this (a trend toward higher dosage), and the cost of the drug, I suspect you got a bit of a bonus dose. Yayyy! Much better than getting a suboptimal loading dose. Boo.
