Re: Every three weeks or every week for Herceptin
I too have just finished up my chemo will start my herceptin every three weeks tomorrow. During chemo, for what they called "bone pain", they advised I take Claritin, an allergy medicene. They don't know why it works, but it takes away the bone pain. It is a 24 hour allergy pill. I used it several times during regular chemo, you might try that and see if that helps.
