I am on my third treatment. I take it every three weeks, I had A/c and taxol, every two weeks and 33 Rad treatments. I finished in April. My Onc. suggusted that herceptin would be a good follow up to prevent it from coming back. I was her2 and had a lump removed and one node involved and I was neg for estrogen. I am glad that they are allowing herceptin to be used. I also wanted to be finished and have my port taken out, but next fall I will be able to do that. I will be taking this for 1 yr. every three weeks. I have had some side effects but nothing like chemo. They say that after you get into the treatments you really don't have two many side effects. I have had a muga test before I started and I am to have one my next treatment. Judy from Md.
