Allie -
This is the routine I am on - every 3 weeks Herceptin and 6 weeks Zometa. I had been on Zometa each 3 weeks for about 21 months, but we just changed that this Feb. and all seems to be fine.
(Actually I have never heard of anyone being on a 2-weeks dose, only weekly or 3 weeks for Herceptin.)
It is in answer to my question whether I still needed so much Zometa. My med onc said in light of me very clear last bone scan, he doubted that I needed that much. There had been some indeterminate lightly hazy area in my leg bones that made him decide to give me the Zometa. They are all clear now.
You will do just fine on this routine. Just will need a new loading dose of Herceptin with a different half-life.
All the best!
