I started 3 weekly triple again early this year and the longest I have been is 1 hour from wo to go. I had it over 30minutes on one infusion, with an OOPS! from the nurse, I was fine, she had a restless weekend, despite me phoning the unit after I drove home to tell her I was fine, she had already left shaken. Now I just say, between 30-45 mins whatever, I have survived heart failure in 3 valves due to thyroid treatment and no relation to herceptin, and my LV has always been in the acceptable limit, some just like to stay cautious, I would like to be able to give it to myself at home, who knows one day we might.

Love & Hugs Lyn
