I was curious if anyone that does the weekly herceptin has to take the Decadron the day before, of and after like with normal chemo's? Most say no....but I have had a couple people tell me yes. So which is it?

I would think it would NOT be necessary with just herceptin? But I really don't know. Any opinions or personal experiences with this. I understand the tylenol and benedryl as a pre-med when you go get your herceptin...but that's about it.
