For those on Herceptin indefinately

For those of you that are taking Herceptin indefinately, are you doing the every 3 weeks infusions or weekly. I have been doing the weekly now for almost 2 years. My oncologist asked me last time, it I still wanted to continue this or move to the 3 week infusions. I asked him what he thought and he said he could not give me a definate answer as to which was best but that he has seen a slight bit of difference in reoccurance in those that were on the 3 week schedule. I would like to be able to only go in every 3 weeks, but don't want to fix something that's not broken. I'm sort of superstitous about it. If I switched and then reoccured, I'd blame myself for changing. For those of you who are doing well with the Herceptin long term, what is your scheduling? I've got to make a decision...sherryg
