When I was on 3 weekly, at first it was being given the same as my weekly dose, 1/2 hour....I started complaining of headaches, had an MRI which was clear, and then my nurses checked with the drug rep who said the 3 weekly infusion should be at LEAST an hour long, preferably 1 and 1/2 hours. They slowed my infusion to 1 and 1/2 hours, and my headaches became almost nonexistant. Later we were able to shorten it to an hour with no ill effect.
I guess some people do fine with the shorter infusion, but it seemed to be causing an allergic type of reaction for me...
Ask your nurses to contact Genentech and ask, or call them yourself!
