herceptin, infusion times

I have my every 3 week herceptin over one hour. When I asked my onc about the infusion time, she said that there were no established/tested rules about infusion times. So, according to her, if I was having my infusion over one hour without side effects or problems, they would continue over one hour. I would imagine that your friend's drs had the same opinion about a 30 minute infusion as well as a 90 minute one. In other words, they don't know! So as long as you're ok, it seems like any reasonable, commonly used time is considered ok.
