I get valuable info from this board. I'm Stage 1. As of now, I'm taking Herceptin for a year, as my onc recommends. I read a European study that said 9 weeks of Herceptin might be as good as one year, so I'm taking nine weeklies and then every three weeks. I just read a member's post about her onc observing better results with weekly Herceptins, so I'll ask my onc about that. The reason I'm taking every three weeks is to save two copays and avoid two visits to the Onc. But I'll go weekly if that's better. Science is interesting. The Finnish study said 9 weeks of Taxol and Herceptin is as good as one year; now I read here that other studies are saying two years is better.
