I recently finished 6 mos of chemo plus herceptin, and on the weeks I had herceptin only (every 4th treatment), I didn't get any pre-meds. I'm starting every-three-week herceptin on Thursday and my onc said I won't need pre-meds for that either.

I'm glad, I hate getting them. The Benadryl knocks me out and the decadron made it impossible for me to sleep that night, plus made me want to eat all the time.
