herceptin dosage

[daughter]

Hi all
I haven't posted in a while. We moved from Atlanta to Jacksonville and
it's been a crazy month or so. Meanwhile I managed to get the doctors
in Yugoslavia to give herceptin to my mom, as they first refused saying
that's not the right treatment for her, and than admitted that they just
don't give it to post menopause patients. My brother and I agreed to pay
ourselves so she had received her second treatment 2 days ago.
They are giving it with taxol 500mg and 450mg of carboplatin. First dose
was higher on herceptin 4mg per kilogram of body weight and I understood
that other doses are reduced to 2mg/kg. I can only find info on that if it was
given weekly. She receives hers every 3 weeks. Can anyone tell me what dose they are given on 3 week treatment?
My mom's life is so important to me and we are trying to do anything we can, even though I am not sure how long we can continue to pay for it out of the pocket. I am just thinking, if she is supposed to get 2mg instead of 4mg /kg of body weight she can get twice as many treatments for the same amount. She is been feeling OK so far, just tired. But she continues with
her daily walks and takes naps during the day. My aunt spends 3-5 days
with her after each treatment and helps around the house and than mom
feels good enough to do things on her own. My dad is trying to help as much as he knows how.
I would appreciate very much if any of you have leads or answers for me.
Keep on fighting!
