SDgirl,
We did not see real progress until we got to 80 mg of Herceptin IT, and Carol in Malta did not see it until they got to 100 mg Herceptin IT. If you are getting less than 1.3 mg/kg of body weight, they are not giving you enough!!!!! Also, it took 60-90 days before the disease had good resolution on MRI scans of the leptomeningeal and brain. If you got 6 weekly treatments, you are not yet where you would see the impact. You need to keep doing these!
