The Herceptin can be given weekly (which is how you had it) or every three weeks (the way your doctor wants it to be). He probably started out with the weekly Herceptin just to see how you would do and is switching because it will be easier on you to just come in and get everything once every 3 weeks. Herceptin is equally effective given this way so don't worry about a thing. Both ways are equally as effective and aggressive. He is not changing the way you receive the chemotherapy drugs, just Herceptin.


I am glad you are tolerating your chemo.

Warm regards
