Re: Reaction with re-load dose of Herceptin?
I had to stop and restart herceptin and they did not give a "re-loading" dose. I just picked up where I left off. I was wondering about this so I asked Lily at Jhopkins breast cancer site and she said "reloading" is not necessary for herceptin breaks. All my research seemed to indicate otherwise, though, so I don't know the right answer. I'm thinking maybe the reloading dose is either outdated now or maybe just indicated when the breaks are much longer. Anyone with any other information???
