Medicare and Herceptin

Hi everyone,
This is my first post on this board. My question is; I will be going on Medicare in June and I have been offered by my Doctor to take the Herceptin treatments.
Will Medicare cover this treatment. I called Medicare but didn't get a direct answer.
Also my doctor is prescribing every week for one year. I noticed it seams that everyone else takes it on a three week tour. My Doctor says he would rather give it every week in lower dosage to help prevent side effects.
