Starting Herceptin after Chemo
I hope someone on this board can give me some information. I will be completing my chemo on May 10, 2007. I had 3 rounds of FEC, will have done 3 rounds of Taxotere on May 10th. My onc. said he would redo my MUGA and then start Herceptin- which will be every 3 weeks for a year (17 rounds). How long should I be waiting after the last chemo on May 10 and the start of the Herceptin? I believe my onc. said "about a month", but I can't recall exactly - chemo brain for sure.
Any advice would be welcome, as I go for my Taxotere infusion this Thursday, and I would like to talk to him about this with some knowledge behind me.
Thanks
Caya
