Re: Herceptin treatment on hold
I, too, had to take a five week Herceptin break. But when I resumed, I received weekly treatments instead of every three weeks. The more frequent, lower doses solved the problem for me. I had about 8 months of treatments, so it was a little inconvenient. I'm five years out and all of my follow-up echos have been normal.
