HI~
Just wanted to share a little input on the question of qweekly Herceptin vs.q3week. If the efficacy is equal, then the q3week schedule is certainly more convenient! Unfortunately, in my case, the triple dose made me so sore-body aches like crazy, feeling totally arthritic from eyelids to toenails! These symps would subside, just in time for my next triple dose! So, I've chosen to return to the qweekly schedule. I'd rather go for my infusion once a week and feel good vs. the "freedom" of q3week & feel lousy!
Keep the Faith!
