Weekly herceptin, 30 min. or longer?
I know this has been discussed before...but since I am back on a normal schedule again...I am curious as to how fast your weekly herceptin infusion is?
My regular chemo nurse likes to give it to me in about 30 minutes or a touch longer. But this last time...my nurse was gone. This other one filling in that is the HEAD in that dept gave me my weekly herceptin in about 20 minutes. (I told her I don't like it that fast and it concerns me.)
She said it makes no difference. Maybe it doesn't....but it seems I have seen other posts from women on this same topic that rather have theirs slowed down due to the affects herceptin can have on the heart.
To me...there is NO need to rush me in and out in 20 minutes so they have a chair.
Do you all have yours in 30 minutes or less?
