I started w/herceptin once every
3 weeks for 90 mins. Only took tylenol. Then recently I was getting the herceptin once a week for 30 mins also with tylenol. Since I'm scheduled to start Doxil on an every 3 week cycle again, I'm moving the herceptin to every 3 weeks again.
The once every 3 weeks for 90 min and once a week infusions for 30 min all come out to be the same in the long run anyway. It's all calculated by body weight and stays in your system for the same amounts of time.
