What he is planning on doing is giving you a larger dose, every 3 weeks...instead of smaller doses every week. Right now, I am getting the weekly smaller doses of Herceptin. My Oncologist said there may be a time when I will be changed to the every 3 weeks treatment. I believe that is after he gets me cleared of my mets. I don't think what your doctor is doing is going to hurt the effectiveness of the Herceptin, it may make it harder for you as far as symptoms go. I have my Taxotere given every 3 weeks and it is rough on me because it is a large dose. I've heard others that have the smaller weekly doses of Taxotere say that it isn't as bad that way...sherryg683
