I am in the US and I am starting herceptin next week - weekly for one year. My onc said something about the FDA ( I think that's who she referenced) not approving the 3 week schedule, but that they should soon and I could switch if appropriate...I have no signs of recurrance, ended my treatments almost 2 years ago but my onc recommended I do the Herceptin as a preventative measure, given the awesome results it is getting with patients.( I was stage 2B btw)
