Herceptin every 3 weeks/infusion time

It is okay to take Arimidex with Herceptin. I have been taking this combo for 8 months now. It is a recommended combo as well.

Somewhere I read--thought it was on this board--that the standard in the clinical trials in Europe? was 30 minutes for a 3 week dose. But then they realized there were more heart problems doing it this fast.
I go for 2 hours on a 3 week dose and at least 45 minutes on a weekly regime. I sometimes get a saline flush, depending on the nurse.

I get a 30 minute infusion every three weeks. No premeds.
