Hi Vinnie,
I had herceptin plus taxotere for six weeks every single week, and then my doctor switched me to every three weeks for the remaining two cycles and for the herceptin year. The reason was that I hated the weekly drips so much - they bloated me terribly and I felt more fatigue and muscle aches than I wanted to. My doctor did not see any loss in efficacy by reason of switching to tri-weekly instead of weekly. The one downside: my hair fell out again. It had been growing back in on the weekly drips. But the three-week dosage was a bigger attack on my follicles, and my hair fell out again...
I was off study, if you haven't figured that out by now...
