Over 80 & Herceptin:special precautions?

I wonder if information is available from kins of patients over 80 years old taking Herceptin as to special precautions to avoid or minimize short term & long term side effects in particular for the initial loading dose which is normally twice larger than subsequent doses.

Concerning the potential cardiac side effects is it true or not that the longer the infusion time (within reason) the lesser the risk?
If so, how long should the infusion time be?
