I am on maintenance Herceptin every week and will be switching to every three weeks (BTW--I appreciated the recent thread regarding how long the infusion should take--thanks!) -- I'd like to hear from those of you who are receiving Herceptin every three weeks.

How do the side effects differ with the increased dosage of Herceptin? Right now I get the weekly dose every Thursday and I am tired on Friday nights and Saturdays. What side effects should I expect with the triple dosage of Herceptin? In your opinions, how will it be different than what I experience now?

thanks!
