I have always done mine every week now for 2 years because I have had problems with reactions with Herceptins, terrible head and body aches. A couple of months ago, I figured I would try to switch to the 3 week schedule and boy did I have a reaction. I felt like I had the flu for 4 days. I live very close to my facility and it's a pain to go in every week but it seems to be the only way my body can tolerate it well. I might try again to do the 3 week schedule because it was nice not going in there for that long..sherryg
