I am in the 6 month window (at 4 months post chemo now) to receive Herceptin. I can go to my regular oncologist (who was relucant to give it to me until their affliate, Fox Chase made it protocol to offer to those of us in the window) who will use the weekly protocol. Sloan Kettering will also give it to me but they are using the three week protocol (but you receive much more drug).
Does anyone know the pros or cons of the 2 regimens? Is one more heart safe or more side effect free? Is one more effective than the other? Both will go on for about one year.
Does anyone know the reduction of recurrence rate (as that published in the study is in conjunction with Taxol and this is Herceptin alone).
Thank you in advance and best regards,
Becky
