I have had 5 treatments of Herceptin. once every three weeks. I started this after 4 rounds of AC, 12 weeks of Taxol/Herceptin, mastectomy, radiation.

The Herceptin is really easy, the only side affect for me is my nails grow bumpy and thin.

I am scared that after 9 months of Herceptin, then what? Then we wait?

As long as I am on Herceptin, I feel that I am doing something. My oncologist said that I could do weekly or every three weeks. The only difference is the dosage. Your dosage is lower if you have herceptin every week. I would rather do every 3 weeks, at least you don't have to go to the hospital as often.

Take Care.
