My understanding is similar to some others -- benedryl is used in the beginning, but can be dropped after awhile, once the risk of a reaction is passed. I can't remember how many weeks I got the benedryl, but I think the last couple months I didn't get any. I am now on preventative Herceptin and I get only Herceptin--no benedryl.
My oncologist doesn't give Herceptin every three weeks because of the increased cardiac toxicity risks, but it sounds like there are a lot of docs out there who disagree. I am sensing that lots of you are getting it every three weeks.
