Hi:

When I receive my Q3wk Herceptin in 30 minutes I have an allergy attack. I have no problem when the infusion is done in 60-90 minutes. I can recall other posts where women have reported asthma attacks from the 30 minute infusion and no problem with the 90 minute infusion. One nurse told me the protocol for Q3wk is 90 minutes.
