Celina,
I was wondering the same thing. I am on two weeks on navelbine and two weeks with just herceptin. I have a vacation planned for the first two weeks of Feb. When I made my plans I missed calculated, not realizing there are 5 Fridays in Dec. I had planned on going at the end of my two weeks on herceptin so I would feel my best and be at a time where my blood counts are up. Then I would just delay my chemo for one week. Now it's going to fall in the middle of my two navelbines. Which would be a bad time for me to go. The other choice is to have three weeks of herceptin but then I would be delaying my navelbine by two weeks. I see my Dr. the first week of Jan. So I will discuss this with him. I know he usually likes me to go on vacations at a time when my counts are up. He also likes me to take vacations!! The last time I went he gave me antibodies to take while I was gone, to make sure I didn't get sick while out of state. He thinks vacations are important for stage 4 bc. Patty H
