Val
I just did what you will be doing. I had 12 weekly infusions then switched. This past Friday was my third every 3 weeker. I am more tired on Friday night - the tiredness used to not hit me until Saturday (with Friday being ok) but not anymore. I get a lot more sinus pressure on Saturday and Sunday. Otherwise, its not any worse or different.
When I had my first Herceptin (loading dose), I had a headache the next day - not devastasing but moderate and nothing would make it go away except a good night's sleep. I never got that headache again except for my first 3 weeker and then I never got a headache again.
It does take longer (90 minutes versus 30 minutes) but then.....NO cancer center for 3 weeks!!!
I switched because of winter coming and I was afraid to get iced in or snowed out of the cancer center and missing a treatment. You will like this Val and you won't feel any different than the weekly (and you won't be tired every weekend just every third weekend too).
Warm regards,
Becky
